CHW 662
Title:  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.

EMDX 103
Title:  EMDX 103
Description:  The one that started it all, GM 103 was built in 1939 by Electro Motive as an attempt to sell the railroads of the US on the idea of diesel power. No stranger to this yard as this locomotive had visited Spencer to demonstrate to the Southern Railway a diesel at work, later becoming a Southern unit itself. It is now owned by the Museum of Transportation in Kirkwood, MO which has restored it back to its original look while out on demonstration runs. Behind it is one of its B units, also of Southern Railway heritage and now under the ownership of VMT at Roanoke,VA.
