Thanks Harry; I suspected that might have been the one.   Unfortunately, if 
the new Lynchburg train is any indication, it will be an  extension of an 
existing train (probably one of the ones now terminating in  Richmond), and 
Amtrak will call it "Northeast Regional #xyz".

Harry:
 
What PRR train was that?  
 
Thanks in advance,
 Dave:
Don't have an old PRR timetable at hand, I'm at the library.  By  my
recollection, PRR's Cavalier originated in  Filthydelphia and
operated down the Delmarva to Cape Charles.  There, passengers
were transferred to a ferry for Norfolk.  This was PRR's  premier
passenger train for the Eastern Shore complete with Pullman
service and hauled by "K" class engines.  I suppose Amtrak  could
name the new train The  Cavalier,  but the "Techies" might object.
