The locomotive in Link's Rural Retreat photo is 610. Verified by the position of the sand dome grab iron on the skyline casing and super magnification of the number.

Hello All,
It has been a few years since I was in SW Virginia.  Are there displays and station-specific items to see??   Is there a website?
Thanks so much.

Mike,
Thanks for reversing the image. Really helps.

Dave,
Great extra info.
Does this original negative still exist? And if so, I assume it's
located in Roanoke at the Link museum. Could it be viewed through a
loupe to possibly determine the number? (I don't know museum protocols).
It really is a close call between 610 and 611.

The four J's that I have for modified rods were 600, 605, 610, 611.  So
with your photo, we've narrowed that to two.  Really does look like 611
in the negative enlargement, but the top part of the second "1" does
look a little different  from the top part of the first "1"............
Thanks for posting!!
