Clift Yard - Bluestone Branch?

[NW Mailing List]

I would have thought earlier than 1928  Wouldn’t there be Y3 or Zs working such a productive branch by then? I count 4 maybe 5 small engines plus the passenger train. (Mind you I’m looking at it on a phone). I wonder if this is right after electrification 1915/16 ish?

I found the picture on Roanoke public libraries. (HNWR140). It gives it an even later date of 1937.
