Link's Color photo

[NW Mailing List]

I looked on the Link Museum website for the image (and maybe more 
details). I was not able to find it as a stand alone image, but found it 
as shown in a newspaper article, and as a cover for Classic Trains 
magazine. If these are the correct images, I think the title for the 
image is "Highball for the Double Header".

This image was also used on the Link's LP "Thunder on Blue ridge".
