Norfolk & Western East End Shops about 1890
This was the Norfolk and Western enginehouse in 1890, located
within the shop area of what is now the East End Shops. The 0-4-2T
shop switcher built by Baldwin in 1883 as No. 1. Shown pulling
several dead locomotives in center foreground, probably destined
for shop repairs in the nearby Roanoke Machine Works. Note the
passenger cars at left center, as Roanoke was a junction point
for the N&W, the Shenandoah Valley and Roanoke and Southern
Railroads, with frequent passenger service. Note the outline of
some of the shop structures in the background, indicating the
close proximity to the shop area. The stack in center of photograph
was erected in 1882, and later on joined by two others, none exist
now.
