Train 7 consist

[NW Modeling List]

 Pages 102 & 103 in Warden & Miller's "Norfolk and Western Passenger Service 1946-1971" has information and pictures of No. 7. I used to ride it from Farmville to Roanoke while in college (1952-1956). At that time it had several head end cars and a PG coach.

On 1 of my records is a scene with Train 7 making a quick stop at Blue Ridge station in August 1957.  The caption states the train was cancelled a week later and that the consist was a 2-car train pulled by a K-2a.

  

This is an ideal train for a small layout.  I “assume” the consist was a baggage and coach, possibly a Pg.  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.
