1971.  Woodland, California

The Sacramento Northern and the Tidewater often traded locomotives.  There appears to be no real system behind why or when other than the power was available and it was sent where it was needed, regardless of ownership.  Here, second 745 switches cars on the SN's Woodland Branch.  Today, this line is owned by the Sierra Northern, having been purchased from the UP by the Yolo Shortline.
