Live Webcam at Roanoke rail line


More info: Roanoke is located in southwestern Viginia, at the southern end of the Shenandoah Valley, between the Blue Ridge and Allegheny mountains.

Roanoke developed after 1882, when it became a junction of the Shenandoah Valley Railroad and the Norfolk and Western Railroad, offering an outlet for the coal deposits of Virginia and West Virginia.

Roanoke is known for the Roanoke Star, also known as the Mill Mountain Star, a neon landmark overlooking the city from the summit of Mill Mountain.
