Bluefield Engine Terminal

[nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org]

Hello All,

I have some questions about the engine terminal at Bluefield in the 
steam era.  I know from photographs that there was a full circle 
roundhouse.  In later steam era photos it seems that half of the 
house was removed to put in the modern long house or lubritorium and 
ash handling facilities in the post WWII modernization.  Is this the 
case and when was it done?  I have not been able to find an aerial 
view of the later steam era terminal to really see the layout.  Does 
anyone have a photo or line diagram of the terminal?  Roanoke, 
Portsmouth, and Williamson are well represented in this aspect.

Thanks for your consideration.
