March 1990. Stockton, California
Although sold to the
Stockton Terminal and Eastern in 1976, TS second 745 reportedly never turned a revenue wheel for the road. The last locomotive to ever be owned by the Tidewater Southern became a hanger queen for the ST&E's Alco stable and quickly
began donating parts to keep its fellow ex-WP sisters running. Looking much the same today, I documented the 745's wretched condition in early 1990. Click the photo to see the other images.
