here's a site that explains the tags & numbers came in pairs. one to the passenger and one left on the bag. for id at destination. may be that simple?

I think you are correct. It is simply a baggage number.

it may only be a baggage number, but what an excellent find

Jerry/MI · Nov 28, 2009

First I would like to thank all of you for your help it has been very interesting to say the least.
Second: yes it was found in Michigan, approximately 20 miles south of Grand Rapids.

Thanks again

Thanks intimer, :notworthy:

and to all the rest as well. I told you I was an escapee from a mental hospital, but no one would listen to me. I was on the wrong track all along, but I now know "way" more about railroad lines and baggage tags than I did when I woke up this morning. Which is a good thing considering I never even heard of a baggage tag before today. By the way, if anyone ever finds anything related to the Long Island Railroad, let me know. I'm kind of a suedo expert on it after today's research.

Thanks again to all for putting me on the right track, and for not repremanding me for my erronious information. Well, I guess I better quit while I'm ahead. Besides, that's all the big words I know anyway!

P.S. Why didn't somebody tell me the darn thing was found in Michigan? I thought MI stood for "Mental Institution!"

And for those among us who are technically minded, or should I say technically "re-minded," this may help. :dontknow:

Just bored here! Please don't take me too seriously!

I just couldn't resist this one ... but I promise this is the last! :hello2:

And if anyone wishes to use this for a future post, you're welcome to do so.

..but this is solved.

SODABOTTLEBOB · Nov 30, 2009

I knew that. I just posted the photo of the Life magazine for the heck of it because we (I) got side tracked with those other images regarding the reminder to mark a topic solved. I was just emphasising the difference between Solved and Not Solved . My morning coffee hadn't kicked in yet, and I'm really not sure what I was thinking. I guess I was just trying to use my alien form of communication, which requires imagery, to say it was a mystery to me that someone who has been a Tnet member for five years would need reminding to check-mark a topic solved. And seeing as how I'm just sticking my foot farther and farther in my mouth, I'll leave it at that and thank you for not yelling at me. :notworthy:
