I was searching the same resource and found the page for the pic & description and it says Bonsack, VA:

  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".

    Link made a famous photo called "highballing the hotshot" or something
    like that. It was ostensibly made at Boaz, and shows Asst. TM Bill
    Tanner (I believe) highballing doubleheaded As on the "House Car Run".
    They'd left the A-tank off the lead A so both of them could be in the
    picture.

    Trouble is, the shanty at Boaz was not next to the main line and had
    slight differences from the one in the photo.

    Anybody know where that photo was actually made?
