The very last slide says, "An Art Wheeler Production, December,  2010".

Sorry to those who get this twice, but there is information of  interest to 
both sides of the house. A friend on another railroad list posted  this 
PowerPoint presentation back in January and I just ran across it stashed  in a 
corner of my hard drive. It is a series of color photos taken at the 1957  
NRHS Convention, which was held Labor Day weekend in Roanoke. There are a  
number of photos of the display put on by the Virginian that show steam,  
diesel, and electric power. There are shots around the Roanoke passenger  
station, and shots from the various excursions on that weekend -- Roanoke to  
Matoka, WV, and back behind a VGN electric, Roanoke to Bluefield, and the trip  
up the Blacksburg Branch behind M-class steam. I'm not sure of the origin of 
 the PowerPoint (I can track it down if desired) but I'm surprised it 
hasn't  shown up on these lists. Enjoy!
