OK, but REA would have gone to the express room, not the freight shed -- and how do you know it arrived in a baggage/express car if the car was long gone when your grandparents picked it up?
And the railroads did not accept express shipments outside of REA. If you went down to the station or anywhere else, you were sending it REA. The railroads had no separate facilities. Remember that many stations had REA signs!
