where is it?

Appears to be SW VA somewhere. Is that coke ovens back/ right? That is a big building in the foreground, so could it be St. Paul? Next thought would be Pulaski.

The HH or HK car would seem to indicate the shot was made between 1903 and 1925, probably earlier than later do the all wood cars shown.  The caption throws me.  I wasn't aware of significant coal/coke operations in the Roanoke area.  What's the story here?
