1948?  Modesto, California?

WP 124 is nearing the end of its service.  Here is was caught resting near a PFE served icing dock.  The engine behind appears to be a WP 2-8-0.  This very nice shot of the 124 captures many details of the engine and is one of the nicer roster shots I've encounter of the little teakettle.  An entertaining detail can be seen on the SP/UP PFE car behind the 124.  The white graffiti nearest the door reads "Evil Eggs".  Perhaps someone sampled the wares and found them wanting?
