Presenting the work of 30 amateur and professional photographers, On the Rails illustrates the continued influence trains have on America’s landscape. Despite the disappearance of many railroad lines over the last several decades, rail travel has seen a resurgence, still captivating the hearts and minds of many. Just as O. Winston Link captured the last of the steam era in rural Southwestern Virginia, the photographers included here capture traditional and unique views of not only the J Class 611, but also the railroads across the country.
