 On October 28, 1995, most of Amtrak's Northeast Corridor services (except for the premium "Metroliners" and commuter-based "Clockers"), including the Richmond and Newport News trains, were rebranded as "NortheastDirect" and lost their individual names.Train names were re-added under the "NortheastDirect" brand the next year.The daily Newport News train became the "Old Dominion", with "Tidewater", "Virginian", "James River", and "Potomac" assigned to other trips.
