The smoke from Y6a 2167 lingers as grimy class A 1219 steams through the station with a westbound freight near the end of the locomotive's run.

N&W Y6a 2167 is pushing an eastbound freight through Roanoke on a beautiful November morning with the railway's office buildings in the background.

I ran down the platform to catch this N&W K2a just cutting off Shenendoah Division train 1 from Hagerstown, Md.. This was the start of an exciting day of rail photography.
