Several icons of Roanoke are seen here, including the former N&W passenger station (now home to the O. Winston Link Museum), Hotel Roanoke, the former N&W general Office Building, and Norfolk and Western 2-6-6-4 #1218 (on display behind the Museum as part of their 10th Anniversary celebration). Special thanks to the Virginia Museum of Transportation for the generous loan of 1218 for the event, members of the Roanoke Chapter NRHS, and Norfolk Southern's dedicated employees, who braved the single digit temperatures to make this scene possible.

A continuously growing album of photos that IMHO reveal the awesome and seldom-seen beauty of the railroad world from the dimming of day to dawn's early light! From dusk to dawn, trains roll on! (I'm still finding gems of sunset-to-sunrise surprises!)
