January 5, 1948.  Aurora, California.

Probably taken at Aurora, the north end of the Tidewater's post-1932 electrification.  Motor 100 rests between runs of its regular task of towing steam trains down Modesto's Ninth Street.  The last vestige of TS electric operations is only months away from oblivion.
