Location of Photo of Eng 302 in 1939?

If the date is to be believed, it stated 1939, the roundhouses closed 
and were torn down by 1935. To my recollections of other Roanoke 
photos, there were no sand towers of that design in place in the steam 
era, sand was taken from the coal wharf, both at 12th Street and 
Shaffers Crossing. I do not believe the shot is from Roanoke.
