I think the terminal map you are thinking of was in the Roanoke 
Chapter's Gift Shop, which was closed at the end of February. The 
Transportation Museum seemed to be headed in a different direction, and 
apparently little interest in rail, hence the new gift shop with a very 
different focus.

The map you are thinking of is a composite of about 16, 18x24 drawings, 
reduced and assembled to make one large terminal print. It is from 
1932, if i recall correctly and one of several series that was for 
industrial development by the N&W, Portsmouth, Columbus and 
Winston-Salem were the others. I think we still have some of the large 
prints of the map, if you want to contact me off list.
