You can walk from the Hotel Roanoke to the Link Museum, it is in the  
former N&W passenger station just across Shenandoah Avenue in front of  
the Hotel. You can also simply walk from the Hotel across the  
pedestrian bridge (also called the glass bridge) which crosses the  
tracks. On the opposite side, as you exit, you can turn left, and go  
to the sidewalk along side the mainline, which is now the railwalk,  
with informational plaques, and artifacts placed along the way,  
including some N&W position light signals, a diesel bell you can ring,  
and continue west along the walk which connects the market area with  
VMT.

If you choose not to walk, VMT is located at 303 Norfolk Avenue.
