I'll through in my GSVP N&W steam videos and let you know in an hour or so.  I believe N&W was the last, or one of the last class 1s to drop fires for good.  Portsmouth, Ohio and Iager and Williamson WV were where N&W steam lasted the longest, some lasted into 1960.  The last were 2-8-8-2 Y6.  0-8-0s were built by the N&Ws Roanoke shops in 1953.  A couple lasted into 1960.   Edit: The last N&W steam locomotives in regular service dropped their fires in May/June 1960.
