August 1984.  south of Modesto, California

WP 2009 has a short train in tow south of Modesto.  The GP20s were well suited to the Tidewater's trackage and train sizes in the late 1970's and early 80's.  While sister 2001 would survive in a museum and 2002 still works for Relco, 2009 has been scrapped.
