I have a Kodak color picture of it, dated November
1971, and the trim around the doors and windows is
green.  I am unsure about the color in the 1950s.

Good morning, all:

Mike and Ben, if you do any zapping please include
f_scheer at yahoo.com in the address line.   As a
reminder to any other people with color or black and
white photos of interior or exterior N&W station
views, I appreciate any images available for
reference.   I'm gradually restoring the Boyce station
and these are helpful guides regarding painting
details, furnishings, external landscaping touches,
signage, fixtures, and train order/block signal
installation.

As an aside, I haven't seen many exterior views of
N&W-owned or jointly-used towers and no inside
pictures.  The sole exception are a couple of images
at Walton from a distance.  I think this was gone by
the time I was riding trains to Radford in 1969.  The
only other towers I've personally seen were at Cowan,
X and NC at Lynchburg, and the tower-drawbridge
control at Bridge 7.  And, of course, "Randolph."

Thanks for keeping me in mind and my email address
handy....

Frank
