Bristol,VA/TN Steam era service area?

[NW Mailing List]

Thanks, I just found everything on google maps. thanks again for  everyone's info. Its crazy and sad to see that place like it is now as to see it in one of O. Winston Link's photos. Or a photo with a J,K or another N&W steam loco simmering or working there.

The roundhouse still exists and clearly shows in a satellite view on Google Maps. It is used by an industrial firm not connected to railroading.

 Hello, I'm fairly familiar with the passenger station area and Bristol its self, but where was the roundhouse and service facilities for N&W steam locomotives at in Bristol. I know the Southern serviced there also. Thanks in advance.
 
 
  Ed King did a great article on the ins and outs of Bristol in Trains back in the March 2004 issue, in the article "Railroad blueprint: Bristol, Tennessee/Virginia" that covered operations, locations, and had maps of the area. You can order the issue from the Trains website for $5.95 (or it is on sale right now for $4.15, but I don't know if that is for everyone or because I'm registered as a subscriber). At any rate, Ed did a good job and the article is worth the price. As to what is left of the facilities, the passenger station is still there and there is a yard, but that is about it.
