Exploring the Campbell Court in Roanoke, VA

[@DieselDucy]

I love how you got me taking the photo at 7:24

[@stlelevators]

yep lol

[@mariokart8715]

This is the reason they’re expanding the bus station.

[@stlelevators]

What is?

[@mariokart8715]

Demolishing the Campbell Court.

[@metroelevators4619]

RIP Westy🙏🕊

[@stlelevators]

Yep :(

[@StarCityElevators]

As soon as i saw the service corridor, I could just have imagined Andrew's reaction if there was another elevator back there he didn't know existed.

[@stlelevators]

I was hoping there would be one, but there wasn’t :(

[@DieselDucy]

I would have FOAMED!

[@mariokart8715]

Black Dog Salvage came and salvaged from this building.

[@stlelevators]

Huh?

[@mariokart8715]

That’s a salvage company in Roanoke & they have their own store there.

[@mariokart8715]

The new bus station will replace the old one.

[@stlelevators]

Well yeah that's the idea.

[@BuildingToursForLife1660-4]

Does the parking garage have any elevators? If so what brands and doors do they have? R.I.P Campbell Court 😞

[@stlelevators]

It’s only the glass one.

[@BuildingToursForLife1660-4]

@@stlelevators will the new place have elevators?

[@icecolespears]

Is the Campbell Court still open

[@stlelevators]

Nope. It is gone. Though I've heard the elevator is still there.

[@snocoelevators]

Rip Westy, you will be missed :(

[@stlelevators]

Yep :(

[@LiftEnthusiast2020OFFTOPIC]

If I become a successful architect and building contractor, I will have Campbell Court rebuilt just not in Roanoke as I am from the UK.

Wait... isn't Valley Metro's diesel Gilligs are 5600 to 5644? And they also have CNG Gilligs too (5121 to 5274 for Phoenix and 6750 to 6810 for the RPTA)! I find it odd that Valley Metro buses 5625 to 5644 are also 2019 models like 5612 to 5624, per CPTDB. Although I though that 5642 to 5644 would've been 2020 models. Also, there are New Flyer buses in the Valley Metro fleet too.

[@stlelevators]

I don't know much about their fleet.

[@mariokart8715]

Does Andrew know?

[@Dana_Danarosana]

It seems like it wouldn't be that hard to repurpose this place.

[@stlelevators]

It’s such a neat property. It will soon be a boring modern building.

[@carselevators930]

Rest In Peace Famous Westinghouse!

[@stlelevators]

It's so cool too. Sad to see it go.

[@mariokart8715]

There’s more of them at Valley View Mall.

[@mitchellarmstrong3759]

It's a shame that building is getting demolished. Has Andrew asked about getting any pieces from the elevator?

[@davidng2336]

I hope so. However, understanding the previous encounters of harassment, it’s also possible that no parts will be saved.

[@stlelevators]

The demo is also being delayed more and more. Who knows when it will happen.

[@mariokart8715]

Supply chain shortages.

[@AlecRoth-id8fp]

Nice video Jason! Hoping the elevator buttons make it to the museum!

[@stlelevators]

Me too.

@@stlelevators andrew was harrassed here

[@SouthernPennsylvaniaWX]

Too bad it’s getting ripped out

[@vancouverelevators_transit]

*demolished*

[@stlelevators]

Whole building is going down at some point.

[@mariokart8715]

That whole block is coming down (except for the existing part of the bus station).
