Joe, thanks for that drawing of the Flickwir siding.
Apparently, OmniSource is what used to be Vinton Scrap. The track layout on the drawing is very close to today's. The scrap yard switch is located just off the east end of the bridge. The Roanoke Shop Lead (3rd track from the bottom) has been extended to the east, and enters the Main 2 across from Southern States. I never knew that was Flickwir siding!
Thanks! Jeff

For Abe and everyone else fascinated with Mr. Flickwir:
Attached is a cell-phone picture of a very small section of Archives drawing HS-U10050 (NW Engineering Dept. drawing 9644) that shows a building labelled "D.W. Flickwir" with a nearby spur track between MP N256 and Bridge 105 over Tinker Creek. This would place it in the middle of today's OmniSource scrap yard .
I've been enjoying the scans of Flickwir's construction efforts. Thanks for forwarding them.Joe Shaw
