March 12, 1948.  Modesto, California.

Here, motor 100 rests just south of the 9th Street trackage.  The TS had a freight depot and office near here and often tied up motive power in the area, even into the UP era.  A report in early 2000 indicated that a few line poles remained standing at this location, including one that still sported support wire and an insulator.  Ancient 100 is less than 6 weeks from retirement and is the sole electric power since sister 106 left Modesto for the SN several months earlier.
