RS-1 109 at Springfield, Missouri (date unknown).

The location is the diesel pocket track east of the Springfield Diesel Shop. This is near the bulk sand storage tank and unloading shed. The track to the north, behind the engines, is the High Line. Today, the “new” turntable sits further to the northeast.

Special thanks to Mark Davidson.
