date unknown.  Modesto, California

Resting once again at the south Modesto terminal.  The Standard Oil building behind the engine formed a backdrop for many of piece of TS rolling stock over the years.  The most interesting detail of this photo is what cannot be seen.  The dark line at the extreme right is actually the front of an interurban car with square front windows, visible in the original print but not in this web scan.  This mystery car is likely either TS motor 300 or one of the two SN motors, 601 or 602.
