West Sacramento, California

TS 741 was the first 70 tonner delivered to the Western Pacific family, arriving as TS 141.  Here, it is on loan to the Sacramento Northern, which acquired two 70 tonners of its own after trying the Tidewater's 141 and 142.  The 741 has long since traded its original black paint for this version of WP Zephyr.
