Where did you find this story?  I would like to read the whole thing.

… Past Gilmerton, and the new electric power plant, past the fertilizer factories and into South Norfolk goes the train, at reduced speed now. It is darker, and the lights in the train show up in a long row behind when the engine takes the curve off Bridge No. 5. Slowly now the train edges along the platform where wives and mothers and fathers look eagerly into the car windows. No. 601 closes almost to the final end of the track, seems to sigh, then almost relaxes; Mr. Roberts and Mr. May climb down.  ….

The story is a cab ride from Roanoke to Norfolk, beginning at Shaffers Crossing.

In Norfolk, where were N&W  passenger engines turned and serviced?

At Lambert's Point  ... ?

Were the fresh engines brought to the passenger station by an Hostler, or did the engine crews report to the Round House and bring their own engines to the station?
