Thanks all, I appreciate your memories/info.I unearthed today some photos in my stash of Nos. 9 and 10 and there was indeed an RPO tucked in among the sundry head-end equipment in all the shots. Still hunting for the shot Mr. Bundy sent me of this J-powered local run likely 30 years ago now!
And thanks for clarifying that the Southern locals in/out of Bristol had RPO’s as well.

Andre:No. 9 usually arrived Bristol powered by a Class J andusually six head-end cars and a rider coach. There wasno Southern connection for this train at Bristol. Same forNo. 10. It originated at Bristol, but no hand-off from a
Southern connection. This was in effect 1956-58 whenit was my transportation to home from college. H. Bundy________________________________________
