If you go down in the woods today, you never know what you'll find........... Some of the "Lost Locomotives of Roanoke" being prepared for moving out of the old scrap yard along the Roanoke River in July of 2009.
Setting a scene for the Christmas season is this one from March 1995 at Twin Branch, WV on the former N&W Pocahontas Division. Good thing that my wife and I packed hiking boots and thick socks before our drive north! No. 6613 is an SD-60. I think she was rebuilt in 2015 and now appears as NS 7007, an SD-60E.
