Saw this yesterday and thought it might interest some of the train buffs on here:

O Winston Link was pretty well known in railway circles (especially American ones) for his photography specialising, as you can see in the shots in that article, on night photography. Two shots towards the bottom of the page shows the sort of lighting kit he used.

Channel 4 did a documentary on him some years ago.

Not really a train buff but I chanced on the Winston Link Museum while staying overnight in Roanoke during a trans US trip in my Corvette.
One of the best museums I have ever been to, and housed in the old Art Deco style railway station designed by Raymond Loeys who I believe also designed a couple of Studebakers.
If you are in the area it is well worth a visit1
