Wp 563

The latest repaint at the Portola RR museum. WP 563 was one of two Alco switchers painted like this in the early 1970's. I don't think it is running currently but could be tinkered with and running without too much work.

That WP engine had four different paint schemes during its career on the WP. It went onto the CCT for its fifth paint scheme then Foster Farms for its sixth paint scheme. The paint it's wearing in the FF picture is all orange with silver steps called the pumpkin paint scheme.

Hey Greg, was it the 510 that was the other engine that wore all 4 schemes, I can't recall??
