I encourage you to look them over as they have great information about the area. Just click on the District name to access the guide. The Winston-Salem District is undergoing a major signal upgrade project so the railfan guide may have some discrepancies. Altavista Blue Ridge Christiansburg Roanoke Whitethorne Winston-Salem Several other good resources for information about the Roanoke area include Joe Shaw's NS New River Districts pages and the Roanoke Railfan Guide on the Railroad Signals of the US website. Roanoke RailCam Click here to view the camera The Hotel Roanoke and Conference Center downtown hosts and railcam that features the NS mainline east of the large classification yard. Most north-south and east-west traffic (except movements that go exclusively through the former Virginian Rwy South Yard such as coal and some grain movements) pass through the area. During peak traffic times, as many as 60-80 moves a day can be viewed on the camera. The camera faces railroad west and is located beneath a foot bridge connecting the hotel to the Wachovia Tower in the heart of the City of Roanoke. The signal you can see is 'North Jefferson" with Commerce St to the west and Randolph St, 65 Crossover and East Leg Wye / Williamson Rd to the east.
