date unknown.  Stanislaus Trestle, California

Leading what is probably a weekend special train, TS 202 heads southbound across the Stanislaus Trestle.  The second car is another TS combine, while the two darker colored cars at the rear are borrowed trailers from the Central California Traction Company.  This trestle survives in service today, with most of it looking much the same.  The truss bridges in the background, at the north end of the bridge, were replaced by box girder sections in 1955.  Reportedly these sections were recycled Western Pacific turntables!  Note the water barrels placed along the bridge.  A recent trip to this site revealed the stumps of old wire poles still in the ground.
