Link captured image during snowstorm

Kelly

A snowstorm in March 1956 delayed O. Winston Link’s eighth trip to Roanoke. In Hagerstown, Maryland, on the way to Virginia, Link found Pennsylvania Railroad locomotive 6330, which had just brought PRR Train No. 61, a local, from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania to Hagerstown.

PRR locomotive photographed by Link in 1956

A steam locomotive was always worth photographing, and this was among the Pennsylvania’s last ones.
