TRAINS, TRAINS and MORE TRAINS
You knew there were trains in Roanoke, didn't you? Maybe it occurred to you that part of Roanoke's growth in the past was linked to the rails?
Well now you can be part of living rail history. www.RoanokeRailCam.com. Watch the rails at work, and then go in person to enjoy our Transportation Museum or O Winston Link. It is a unique idea - and I applaud its creators.
So be a part of Roanoke history, or rather, Roanoke's future.
