With side panels gone from both E8s, it is difficult to tell them 
apart, but one is indeed Wabash (1009) donated by the N&W to the City 
of Roanoke in 1966 and one is RF&P, whose number I don't immediately 
recall.

If I recall correctly, in May of 2000, VMT agreed to give the RF&P unit 
to Roanoke Chapter with the intent of it being restored as an N&W/RF&P 
unit, and placed back, on loan to VMT. The 1009 was to be stored with 
the RF&P unit. The agreement was a no cash deal, just to get the bad 
looking equipment out of Museum property. VMT was to arrange movement 
of the two to the Chapter's maintenance facility, but NS refused to 
handle the units without working brakes in the terminal. Nothing has 
happened since then, so the units sit in Roanoke yard.
