Went to Roanoke Saturday for the Roanoke Railfest, nothing special at the museum other than New Hope Valley RR 17 pulling the train rides, and they werent much. First are a couple shots of NHVRR 17 at the museum.

On a day dominated by widebodys, a high hood was a nice treat. 5116 leads a short 327 into Roanoke. Next is a shot taken from the train ride, 3810 and 3546 sit with a cab in Park St Yard.

23G rolls through the Henry St signals framed by the signals North Jefferson. 23Gs DPU rolls under the 581 bridge past the Randolph St.

Three sets of power sits at the east end of South Yard. Then the 1st set leads 768 out of South Yard.
8039 and 8042 lead 721 into Roanoke near Park St. 9946 and 8377 lead 819 under the 10th St bridge.

6335 sits outside the Shaffers Crossing Shops. 934 crosses over from old Mainline to Main 2 at North Jefferson.

Got word that 8101 was northbound on 759 into Roanoke so I headed for Boones Mill to grab a few shots. 8017 leads 6 units with 8101 number 5 in the bunch.

Nice shots
A close up of 8101. Last catch of the day was 290 northbound at Gretna as I was headed home. 8752 and 8727 lean into the curve coming into town. They were GEs but atleast they were not widebodys.
One last shot of 290.

Almost forgot these. The Roanoke NRHS had N&W GP30 522 there on display also. Comments and criticism are welcome. Enjoy.
