When I think of Roanoke I think 611 & 1218 under a shed, while they sit under a shed just behind them N&W 1135 and 1776 sit out in the sun at the VMT.

1218 gets some maintenance before proceding on into the night. Thanks to Lerro Productions for a great shoot!
N&W 611 makes a late night stop in Roanoke. Thanks to Lerro Productions for putting on a great night session!
I have often wondered how the woman's shot came out --- she certainly was determined. Hotel Roanoke shows in background.
After a long drive to be on hand for the departure, I found the weather challenging --- but so did O. Winston Link in the same setting many years before.
