Switcher helping some F units get squared away....

In front of the Valley Ice Company.

The BN was gathering all the merger power, made a very interesting assortment of road power.

This unit was one with decent paint............

I was lucky to catch this beauty before the green paint...

Freshly painted in the new Western Pacific green

These orange WP units sure looked better than the new green paint that was to come.

Great railroad action in Stockton and points north east on the Western Pacific

Seeing these beauties at work was worth the 7 hour drive to Stockton.
