Description |
Train No. 201, Class M Locomotive 382 at the steel water tank, just before entering the Abingdon Branch. Engine #382 leaving the main line for the Abingdon Branch passing under a steel water tank at Abingdon, 10/56. This is a very nice photograph that has not received any action at all. A single print, cropped vertically, was printed by Mary L. Bachmann at Thomas H. Garver's urging for OWL's show at Candance Perich Gallery, Katonah, NY. 12/00 one beautiful print. The Abingdon Branch trains passed this water tank just moments before leaving the Bristol line to enter the northern end of the Abingdon Branch in Abingdon, Virginia. Winston Link made the photograph in October 1956, but apparently never printed it. The image was discovered among his negatives by Thomas H. Garver, Link's agent at the time, and printed by Mary L. Bachmann, Link's assistant and printer, for an exhibition which opened in December 2000. Winston Link died the following month. Only two signed copies of this photograph exist. |
