On Saturday, September 24 we visited the Virginia Museum of Transportation in Roanoke. We had hoped to see the J-611 engine but a sign indicated that the engine was in Spencer, NC for repairs.....in June we had visited Spencer and were told we had "just missed her". So we STILL have not seen her!
The museum and varied exhibits: automobiles, bus exhibit, planes, and tall ships. The main interest was of course the trains. On the mezzanine floor there was an extensive circus layout which was also very entertaining. There was an O-gauge layout with several trains in the main lobby area, and it was fun pushing buttons to see various action items.
Sunday September 25 we hitched up and went into Salem, VA for fuel and breakfast and then turned out truck to Hwy 220S and headed for home. We arrived in Raleigh about 1:00 p.m. A rough estimate of milage is 10,500 miles!
Until next summer!
