With as many people have "foamed" around Roanoke over the years I have never seen any images taken 1976 or earlier from the Walnut Ave. overpass. This would clearly show the facility. Looking around the 'net you find lots of recent pics from there showing the former site. Perhaps this thread will encourage someone else to scan up and post a few more.<br><br>Bill Drotar, Jr.<br><div> </div><br><div><br></div><div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;"><font face="Tahoma" size="2"><hr size="1"><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">From:</span></b> NW Mailing List <nw-mailing-list@nwhs.org><br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">To:</span></b>

<div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Wow.
Fantastic to see them.....but sad at the same time. Thanks for sharing them and
please post some more if you have them. The subject has always interested me as
they hung around so long after the end of steam yet still vanished well after
the "preservation era" had begun.<br>
