Ben - I am hoping that more knowledgeable persons (Hello, Gordon Hamilton) will speak up, but I can tell you that the N&W and VGN did operate in close proximity to at least ohe traction line, the Roanoke Railway and Electric Company. There's at least one book on the topic, "The Street Railways of Roanoke, Virginia 1887-1948", by James E. Dalmas.

Pretty much as the title says. I am trying to find out  whether the N&W ever shared track with, owned or had a share in , a traction operation, such that you could see their diesels operating beside little steeplecab electrics, boxcabs, or streetcars and so forth.

Never seen anything, but you never know till you ask.
