Car hoist/crane in Roanoke before the unification of gauge

[NW Mailing List]

My gray matter is getting dustier all the time. At the 2018 Convention I had the chance to visit with several members. I even took notes. I have no idea what I've done with the notes which means I don't have the names of folks who were kind enough to provide information useful to me. One of our members has written a couple of articles about the car hoist/crane that was used to lift cars off their wheels of one gauge and put them down on wheels of another gauge so the cars could go through Roanoke where the two different gauges met. I've been running through back issues of the Arrow on the website but not having much luck. Would the author please re-edify me as to what issues had that information. This old dog can't remember the old tricks much less learn new ones. Thank you for your kindness.
