Absolutely, it is number 7 at Little Rock. Until the mail and express debacles shifted that business off of the railroad and onto the highways, number 7 was often the longest train to visit Little Rock during a 24-hour period in 1961-1967. Neither of the northbound mail and express trains (3 and 
had the same length because some percentage of the head end cars returned north in deadhead freight service because both mail and express traffic volume was considerably heavier north/northeast to southwest. Head end cars from other railroads were common, NYC and PRR along with GM&O of course, but I have also seen C&O, NH, Erie, and a good assortment of Railway Express cars. The working baggage car, RPO, grill coach and coach were more or less mid-train, often with a string of head end cars destined for Texarkana proper behind the coach. Remember that No. 7 was one of the trains for which the rider baggage cars were used as detailed in the Spring 2012 Eagle.
