WP 2-8-0 62 on the turntable at Portola, CA. Date of photo unknown, Circa 1940? Photographer most likely Bill Darrough, from the Darrough Collection. Since negatives were extensively traded it's possible Bill was not the photographer. Photos from this collection have been shared with permission from Jack Darrough, obtained before he died.
WP 2-8-0 62 is Class 21, Symbol C-43 built by ALCo in 1909 reportedly last used in 1949 retired in 1950.
