NW COAL HOPPERS AT ROANOKE SCRAP YARD

[NW Mailing List]

The hoppers are saved, they were removed a couple of weeks ago. One 
went to the crane company that did the move, another went to the 
Transportation Museum another is reserved for Roanoke City for the 
Railwalk.

The steam locomotives, I haven't clue as to where and when they are 
going.
