Post subject:  Pullman car name

I’m looking for the name of a Pullman car that sits in Huntington, WV at the old B&O depot. It’s currently painted Baltimore and Ohio with the name “Collis P. Huntington”. CPH never worked for B&O and the name was just put on it because it’s a nod to the man for which the town is named after. If anybody knows the name of this old 12-1 sleeper, it would be greatly appreciated.

"325. Located at the former B&O passenger depot in Huntington, WV, which is now the visitors center. Elk River Coal & Lumber 2-8-2 #10 (Toledo, Angola & Western #100) is also at the depot. The sleeper is painted as B&O with the name Collis P. Huntington. Does anyone know the identity of this car?
Tim identified this car as the John W. Arrington:

325. John W. Arrington (Lot #4845, Plan #3410, 1925, 12S-1DR, ex-Larpenteur)--sold to SOU #2472 (1948) sold to Collis P. Huntington Chapter NRHS?* "
