the 1218

We drove to Roanoke, Virginia last weekend for my sister-in-law’s birthday and a weekend with the family. While there, we got to visit the Museum of O. Winston Link. Link was trained as an engineer, from what I recall, but worked in photography. His personal project was photographing the steam engine trains at the end of their era, 1955-1960. This photograph is of Link’s favorite engine, the 1218, an A Class. It’s now at the Virginia transportation museum.
