July 31, 1935.  Modesto, California.

Great roster shot by Otto Perry on a foray into California.  Interurban service had ended three years earlier and the road was now wholly devoted to freight.

Shot side by side with 106, it gives the viewer a good chance to compare the two motors.  100 sports only one trolley pole, mounted on a swivel, and no handrails, while 106 has two poles and full handrails all the way around.  Identification also differs with 100 having only reporting marks while 106 features the full roadname.
