arrow and baggage cars

[NW Modeling List]

Walter,
The time this occurred may have varied depending upon where on the route of the Arrow one observed the train.

I know that in Lynchburg a combine car began to regularly appear as the first car in the consist in the late 1950s. I don’t recall a full baggage/mail/express car in the consist there  until the mid 1960s.
