N&W loco records

[NW Mailing List]

Thanks very much. I explained to Frank Gibson, who replied a bit earlier, that I was given the front number plate for 261 during a tour of the Roanoke Roundhouse in April 1958 and wondered after all these years what dates applied to its demise. I gather the April date may have been the "out of service " or some such technical date with actual retirement or scrapping following in October. In 2004 I donated the plate to the OWL Museum because the 261 is shown on the insid e front and rear covers of Mr. Link's book. 



Thanks again for your reply!
