Roanoke's historic locomotive, a Norfolk and Western M2 Class steam engine built in 1910, was recently moved by the Roanoke Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society. The 1118 locomotive had been parked in a yard at the Riverdale complex in southeast Roanoke for about 15 years. The chapter relocated the rest of its rolling stock to a new property in the city, and on Monday, a crew from Lynchburg Crane Service lifted the engine onto a flatbed trailer for the journey to its new home at a different location in the city of Roanoke.
