This article is only one of many N&W historical articles that Frank Helvestine wrote for the N&W Magazine, starting with an article in the first issue of the Magazine, June 1923.  He was chief clerk to several N&W vice presidents.  Another Frank Helvestine (son? grandson?) was a machinist at Shaffers Crossing roundhouse when I worked there.  I later saw in the Roanoke newspaper where the younger Helvestine was involved in some unpleasant legal matter.
