The headend cars were mail and express without a RPO. Sometimes the consist hit a bit longer with deadheaded cars being taken to Roanoke.

Does anyone have more info about this train, specifically what the 1st car may have been?  I have the K-2a and plan to build a Pg using Bob Chapman’s RMC article from many years ago but would like to know what the baggage (or combine?) was.
