This is a link to a 1931 topo which should cover the Roanoke/N&W Boaz Pusher
Siding. The road ending at the initial "G" of Glade Creek is Berkley Rd.
There is no indication of this Boaz in the SPV atlas and I don't see
anything on this topo, either.

The Boaz pusher siding has been removed.  It was
located at Mile Post 254, or a mile timetable east of
Vinton in an area known to railroaders as Berkley
Bottom.  It was a third of a mile east of the Berkley
Road crossing, but was still within the City of Roanoke.
 
Briefly, the Norfolk Division had two Boaz's -- the
pusher siding and one in Isle of Wight County on the
former VGN.   A distinction was made by identifying
the station east of Roanoke as the Boaz Pusher Sdg.
