More about O. Winston Link Museum
The O. Winston Link Museum focuses on black-and-white photography of Norfolk & Western steam trains from the 1950s. There are over 300 images, many shot at night, which is part of what makes them interesting. It's located in the old railway station right next to Hotel Roanoke. If you have interest in trains or photography, it's worth the time.
