More Virginian questions about passenger service

[NW Modeling List]

Walter,
The PA's were not USRA light or heavy engines or copies and weren't close to them.
The passenger service was steam powered until the end as far as I know.
There were 2 H16-44's equipped with steam generators but as far as I know weren't used in passenger service. Apparently they were used for special trains and maybe some troop trains after the PA's were retired.

Were any of the Virginian Pacifics based on USRA heavy (or light Pacifics)?  I found it interesting that the BA was only used in fast freight service.  What did they use for passenger service in the 1950's?  If not Pacifics, what early diesels were used and when did they switch from steam.  I could probably find most of these answers on the web site or in one of the books about the railroad, but the answers I get from the members are more than information, they are experience - far more valuable.  Thanks in advance for your help.
