The Collection of the O. Winston Link Museum is certainly focused on the Norfolk and Western project. Link captured the last days of steam operation on the N&W Railway in the late 1950s, but within the walls of these Galleries, our visitors experience much more than just photographs. This collection is more than trains and rail operations. The images created by Link are vignettes into history and sociology. They are art; they are a part of the history of photography and they are a tool to share an era with every person.

Winston Link captured the sounds and sights of the powerful locomotives and the communities along the rail. Become immersed in the auditory and visual experience as you hear and see the engines struggling up a grade or passing through towns. See and hear Jimbo, the Hound of Husk howls a greeting as the trains roar through Husk, North Carolina.
