April 1972.  Stockton, California.

UP colors present an interesting contrast to the orange and green then prevelant on the WP.  RS1 746 waits on the Stockton ready tracks for another call to duty.  Perhaps the bright yellow Burlington Northern plugdoor car in the background will soon head to Modesto behind the 746's drawbar.
