Book Description
In the history of the steam locomotive Roanoke Machine Works played a key part. Take a look at this important economic center of the New South. Roanoke Shops has been an indispensable part of the Roanoke Valley and the Magic City for more than 125 years. Founded in 1881 as an independent company, Roanoke Machine Works built new locomotives and cars for the Shenandoah Valley and Norfolk & Western Railroads. Situated between the picturesque Allegheny and Blue Ridge Mountains, the facility caused an economic boom in the nearby village of Big Lick and the surrounding area. By 1891, Big Lick had become Roanoke and had emerged as one of the most important economic centers in the New South. Today, Roanoke Shops employs skilled craftsmen who provide the highest-quality overhauls and repairs to diesel locomotives. This book takes a look into its history, particularly at production during that exciting and enchanting era of the steam locomotive.

Book Description
The author's decision to build an HO-scale model of the Norfolk & Westerns Williamson terminal, circa 1953, started him on three and one-half years of research and construction. French chronicles the history and development of the Williamson terminal with photos, diagrams, and text. With consideration for the N&W equipment found at Williamson in 1953, he examines N&W steam power, passenger equipment and service, freight equipment, cabooses, and maintenance-of-way trains. A review of N&W's traffic control system is also included. After a final look at Williamson during the last days of steam, French rakes readers on a visual tour of his re-creation.
