Brent: From your description, I think you must be referring to the class PJ coaches (1700-1709) which were built by Bethlehem about 1935. They had streamlined roofs (with rounded ends), four wheel trucks and medium sized windows (one per seat row) spaced out for reclining seats. You can see pictures of them in the consists of the Petersburg-Richmond trains in Thieme's book "The Norfolk and Western...As I Knew It." Not class PN. Those were ex Pullman parlors converted to coaches about 1941.

My memory and resources appear to be failing me (today worse than usual).

A few years ago, I found a photo of an interesting N&W passenger car, I believe used on some of the joint ACL runs.  What I think I remember was that it was a small group of cars (probably coming from somewhere else, not purchased new). I believe they were streamlined with large evenly spaced windows.  They may have been 83' and had 4 wheel trucks.  Possibly class PN?

Unfortunately for me, I can no longer find the communications I had regarding these cars, and I can no longer find the photo.  (I think Rev. Jim provided the information.)

If someone can confirm the car class, at least that would give me some better searching points. And if there are photos to be shared, that would be great as well.

My apologies for the poor memory, but my sincere appreciation for any help with this fool's errand.
