Mr. Link is a friend and co-worker of mine, so I forwarded him this 
message.  Below is his response:
"I didn't create the map, I added the color, labels, and instructions. 
  The reason I put COLOR document was because I saw trainees 
photocopying the maps & they really don't do as much good if they're not 
in color.  I should probably revise that "notice" on the maps, as I 
don't take credit for the actual drawings, but for the coloring and 
labeling of some stuff.  The one map toward the rear of the document 
showing 672, 510, & WB, yeah I did that on the computer, it's not in the 
same style as the old maps.  Obviously, these will soon be out of date 
with the new track & signal work going on downtown.

The maps were given to me by Tommy Duncan years before I started working 
on the railroad.  As to "old eastbound main" I'm sure you and others in 
the group have responded by now, but that used to be the eastbound main 
through the yard.  Pocahontas Glory (the Roanoke volume) shows trains 
screaming through the yard on that track; I assume it was signaled all 
the way through back then."
