CHW 662 |
| Description: |
Built by Baldwin in 1946, this unit was one of three that would dieselize the Chesapeake Western. Retired in 1964, it would call the yard of Virginia Scrap Iron & Metal Company home for at least forty years, surviving floods and the elements alike, before being donated to VMT along with other rail equipment. The Roanoke Chapter NRHS restored it back to its beautiful CHW paint scheme in 2012, proving that anything in railroad preservation is possible. Here it sits on display, coincidently alongside former CHW 10, the Alco T-6 replacement that sent it and its sisters to the scrapyards back in the 1960s. |

CHW 10 |
| Description: |
Originally built for the N&W, this Alco T-6 is one of only a few to survive today. It sits here on display at the VMT's outdoor yard right next to a Baldwin switcher that it was originally purchased to replace back in 1964. |
