WP power hanging out at Keddie
Author: photobob

Heres Keddie back in the late 60's. The tunnel on the right of the photo leads to the Highline. Is the depot still there?

Depot is still there and used as a yard office.

I'm not sure it's the same building that is standing today I think the current office sits about a 50 yards to the east the building in the photo has the operator room on the oppisite end of the building

I asked Sluggo "Is that the same building?"

From Sluggo  

Yes, but it's been modified through the years.  The North end (RR west) which was a kinda warehouse area has been removed. 

That WP 726 was wrecked there in Keddie with a low speed head-on in the yard.  It's diesel engine was removed and now resides in the WP917D at  Portola. The 726 got it's frame bent just behind the cab....

I was at Keddie a month ago.  I wish I had known about the photo that PhotoBob captured.  I would have done a before and after image.  Here's a photo that won't settle the question.
