A pair of WP U30Bs. Judging by their radiators, they are from the second (756-759) or third (760-769) order as the first had the U28B style radiators. We believe the one on the left is from the second order, since it has the ″doghouse″ electric box on the deck behind the cab, which the third order units did not have. It might be WP 757 from the appearance on the rear number board, but it′s not clear enough to say for sure. The unit on the right is from the third order (760-769) as it lacks the doghouse. This photo is likely taken after September 1971. We believe the roundhouse is Oakland as you can see the Flying Scotsman and its cars in the stalls in photo ″00010″ to the left of the locomotives. Staff′s DDOTWP roster says 757 was renumbered to 3057 on June 19, 1972 so that tells us the photo was taken prior to that date..
