Where in Roanoke is this?

[NW Mailing List]

That is the Passenger Car Commissary and office building.  In 1964 as a Special Apprentice for N&W I spend 3 months training on the adjoining coach yard.  Our office and shop was in the basement of the Motive Power Building.  My job was to check all the cookies on every #4 that came through each day as well as keeping the AC going on the coaches.  In the basement of the Commissary was more Old Crow than in any ABC store in town.
