More Virginian questions about passenger service

[NW Modeling List]

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.
