Fauldhouse to Benhar / Polkemet passenger.

Being brought up in the locality and spending many hours exploring the remnants of old freight branches for mains, plus waiting to see the double headed 20’s on the coal trains from Polkemet got me thinking are there any records of passenger specials visiting these lines. Also I only ever saw double headed 20’s on the Polkemet trains but does anyone have records of anything else on these trains ?
