Winston Link is synony- mous with steam locomotives and rural American life in the mid 20th century. As photography gained recognition among art collectors and Link’s work began to be featured first in a select few railfan publications, then later in books and gallery exhibitions, his elaborately- lit night photographs of Norfolk & Western steam trains came to represent a moment in time we now view with nostalgia. Link’s work in particular, more so than the other talented rail- road photographers of his era, gained some level of popularity and mass recognition in part for his unique night imagery and the broad appeal of his de- pictions of small-town life. For those even a bit familiar with
Link’s work, a number of his more fa- mous images will be immediately rec- ognizable such as “Old Maude Bows to the Virginia Creeper,” “Hotshot East- bound,” and “Hawksbill Creek Swim- ming Hole.” Other often-reproduced images–including the father and son at Montgomery Tunnel and the gravity gas pump at Vesuvius–are also includ- ed, but the bulk of the 180 photos in the book are images I had not previously seen. In fact, a number of them are published for the first time on these pages. Most are done in black and

(photos of the Abingdon
Branch), and “How It Was Done” (pho- tos of Link and his equipment). These photos span the entirety of Link’s N&W project from 1955-1959. An early night flash photo of a Missouri Pacific steam locomotive in Louisiana taken in 1946, as well as some of the very first photos from the N&W project, show how Link’s style of lighting and composition changed over time. A number of previ- ously unpublished variants of the most famous photos are included here, in- cluding a day shot of the Hawksbill Creek location, illustrating the incredi- ble transformation Link was able to achieve by shooting at night, highlight- ing the desired subjects and removing extraneous objects to focus the viewer’s attention with his use of artificial light. Link is well known for his inclusion of people in many of his most famous photographs, and the number of por- traits found in this book show just how important capturing the human ele- ment was to the photographer during his documentation of the N&W. With his background in commercial photog- raphy and strong bonds to the railroad employees and local residents, Link
