I spotted this photo recently on the internet.

A classic image of 1950's era EMD first generation GP-7 roadswitchers, are viewed double heading on a Western Pacific Railroad freight train at Milipitas California in the year of 1982.

Wearing what is proboubly the final Western Pacific color scheme introduced during the early 1970's, these two locomotives would soon become the property of the Union Pacific Railroad, as the U.P would absorb the old Western Pacific through merger before the year was over way back in 1982.
