November 12, 1972.  Turlock, California

Rolling the last few miles into the Tidewater's southern end at Turlock, the 747 has its long train well in hand.  Today, grain silos dot this area, supplying feed for the regions chicken farms.  While UP rarely treads the last mile into Turlock itself, the south end is still a busy place.  Note that the rooftop spotlight is turned backwards.
