Roanole Coal Tower and wash rack

I was reading through a copy of "N&W: Giant of Steam" last night, and while looking at the aerial photo of the Roanoke shops on page 48, I did not see the large coaling tower seen in several of Link's photos and elsewhere. I had always assumed (yeah, a dangerous path to walk) that it was in the area that is now east of Williamson Drive. Based on the photo, it is not where I thought it was, or it is obscured in the photo.

So, my question to the experts is: Just where were the coaling tower, the wash bays and the water plugs?
