It occurs to me to wonder if another good option for baggage/something cars might be baggage/generator, since offloading generation from the P42s would improve overall energy efficiency and allow single P42 long distance trains to have redundant sources of HEP. Though if that were done, keeping exhaust from the generator out of Superliners might be a bit of a concern. And if the all the major freight tracks were electrified, I'm not sure if the diesel generators would still be considered useful.
