Click on image to enlarge

Western Pacific (WP) 707 is in Portola, CA on a very cold Saturday, February 10, 1973. This photo was really a collaboration between myself, Paul Burmiester, his dad Bud and the driver of the approaching car who’s headlights illuminated the engine.
WP 707 is an EMD GP7, WP Class RS-62. Reportedly: it was built in 1952 by EMD as a model GP7, WP 703, WP Class RS-62, builder's number 17031.
The disposition of this locomotive is: assigned UP 108. Donated in 1987 to the Feather River Railroad Society in Portola, CA.
