July 6, 1940.  Manteca, California.

Any photos of TS trains on its Manteca or Hilmar Branches appear to be quite rare.  Here, Wil Whittaker not only captured a TS train working Manteca, but its being worked by ex-Sierra 32 in the short period before it was renumbered 132.  This beautiful photo highlights many of the details on this nice little engine.  The engineer has the bell in full swing and the fireman is running a clear stack.
