4. Ghost Town, Stanley, Virginia. - Ghost Town is the result of a combination of Winston Link's vision along with good communications and cooperation all around. Link recongnized that with dramatic lighting, he could change the appearance of the main street of an ordinary little town into a setting of high visual drama. The people in the town cooperated fully in helping with the setup, including letting Link and his crew take refuge under the marquee of the local movie theater. Link telephoned the N&W dispatcher in Roanoke from the phone booth in the picture to check on the progress of oncoming trains. The N&W cooperated by holding up two freight trains which were due to follow each other in rapid sucession, so that the photographer would have time to change the numerous flashbulbs spread across the scene, including one in the phone booth. This is the best exposure, and is the version used in Steam, Steel & Stars. P.52-3.
