Abe,

I know of at least three more issues: 8/1960, 9/1963, and 8/1966.
Seems like I remember seeing a pad of -O19s for the Terminal with a list of sidings on the reverse.

Jim Brewer asks about the "earlier edition" of the Roanoke list of sidings.

A PDF is attached. The document is titled "Alphabetical-Numerical List
of Sidings and Team Track Within Roanoke Terminal Switching Limits,
October 1, 1956."

The significance of a list formulated in 1956 is that it was just before
the 1957 Recession, which cleaned out a lot of businesses in Roanoke
(and everywhere else, too.)

I am not sure if a later edition of this document was issued. This may have been the last one.

The pages were scanned at their original size, but at a sufficiently
high resolution to enable blow-up for reading in your PDF viewer. Even
viewed at 500% magnification, the text is reasonably sharp. The PDF file
was run through Mr. Adobe's Atomic File Smasher to reduce its size to a
manageable level.

I recall once seeing a similar list (same binding, same format) for some
other terminal area on the N&W, but can't recall which one. It
might have been for Bluefield, as I remember wondering why a list would
be published for such a small terminal area. Or perhaps it was for
Columbus. Given its size, Norfolk may have been covered by a similar
document.

Somewhere, Jim, I should still have a copy of the B&O Form 6
covering the entire system, from about 1915 or so. Might have loaned it
out, and you know what happens next... It does not show patron names,
however. Looked for it a month ago when Bob Cohen was here for a visit,
and it was "absent without official leave."
