date unknown (probably early 1930's). Modesto, California.
A very shiny 1 appears to have been recently shopped. The details would date this photo before the late 1930's. Sometime in 1938, the single compressor would be replaced by a cross compound type and a more modern style headlight would be applied. The "cowcatcher" pilot would give way to footboard sometime in the mid-1940's. The cleaness of the engine allows us to appreciate several small items, including the decorative banding on the air compressor and the classic marker lights astride the smokebox.
photographer unknown (Linwood Moody?). Allan Socca collection.
