Covered Wagon - EMD F9A

PPCX (SP) 6304 in fresh paint and unpowered in a freight train consist. The loco is moving south to head an excursion in Northern California. Later in the decade, 6304 operated for a few years on a short line in Idaho/Eastern Washington.

To the best of my search engine skills, this loco fell off the face of the earth in 2011, although I recall reading that it may be stored in Canada under private ownership. Hope this beauty is still intact.
