Bill, My family and I lived in Roanoke until 1978 so your images brought back many memories. The Texas Tavern (there used to be one in Lynchburg as well) was a favorite. Our son’s godfather, J. D. Kanode, was a photographer for Norfolk and Western for many years. We have not been back in years but your wonderful images may make me rethink that. Thanks.

Link was not just a photographer but was a recording engineer as well. He made a number of recording of N&W steam engines. I recall on that one recording was made in the caboose on the end of a coal drag being pushed by a helper up a grade and being cut off (uncoupled) from the train at the top. Several albums of Link’s recordings were released. Today the recordings may be found in flea markets and yard sales.

Bill thanks for sharing your love of photography with us! The pictures say more than the words could and we are all better for having seen them. I have got to visit the museum as it is one of my favorite places I’ve yet to see!!

Bill, I had to laugh when I saw you were writing about traveling light in the context of a trip to O. Winston Link’s museum. I’m sure you are more aware than anyone that O. Winston Link took tons of 1950′s era strobe lighting equipment with him when he went out to photograph the Norfolk & Western Railroad!
