July 31 1935.  Modesto, California

Summer 1935 Otto Perry stopped by Modesto and found 106 and 100 idle in the engine terminal at South Modesto.  Fourteen year old 106 has already had some of her cab side windows blanked and been restenciled, losing the "Railway" part of the TS identity.

Shot side by side with 100, it gives the viewer a good chance to compare the two motors.  100 sports only one trolley pole and no handrails, while 106 has two poles and full handrails all the way around.  Identification also differs with 100 having only reporting marks.
