The German TV brodcast "Eisenbahnromantik" have posted their report about O. Winston Link on youtube.
If you dpon't speak German, you might only understand a bit, but the pictures and videos shown, are a must-watch.

The only word in German I know is gesundheit, but this doesn't need words. Heck of a photogropher, heck of a railroad, heck of an era.

Yes, Roanoke is the town where the O. Winston Link museum is located (in the former station of Roanoke, can be seen in the video).
