I do keep my calendars, and I found the picture.  Thanks for the  
suggestion.
 
And thanks to everyone for the detailed answers, much appreciated!

Dave, 
I believe the RF&P passenger cars were coaches. If you have, or can  find, 
the Society's 1998 calendar, the front cover shot has one of the  RF&P cars 
in the consist of the passenger train.  I don't know the  reason for this 
arrangement.

Subject: RF&P Run-through Passenger Cars on N&W  Trains

I was intrigued by the statement in the upper caption on Page 9 of  the 
latest copy of The Arrow (Vol. 29, No. 2, April, May, June 2013) regarding  
run-through RF&P cars in the blue/gray paint scheme, found on the  Cavalier.  
Having lived near the RF&P (when it WAS the RF&P) on  two different 
occasions, this immediately caught my eye.
 
I am familiar with the nine cars (three PRR, three RF&P, three  N&W) that 
made up the pool for New York - Norfolk 10-6 sleepers, but they  were all in 
the PRR paint scheme.  Did RF&P sometimes contribute  other sleepers in the 
blue/gray scheme for this service?  Did RF&P  coaches run through?
 
I also believe I read that in the later days of N&W passenger service  the 
Petersburg-Norfolk portion of the "Richmond trains" was combined with the  
Cavalier rather than a separate train; am I remembering correctly?
 
Any additional information would be most appreciated.
 
Thanks in advance,
 
Dave Phelps
