order of head-end equipment

[NW Mailing List]

Was there a standard order for head end cars on N&W (maybe other RRs as
well)?  From photo evidence, it would appear that first behind the tender
would be mail (what about storage mail), followed by bag/mail, followed by
baggage, followed by combines.  Was this line-up mandated?  Were there
reasons for this order?  I wouldn't want to be caught running a model
passenger consist with equipment in the wrong order ;^)
