You can see it full size on John's website at [chasingtrains.smugmug.com].  Per the caption, it was taken in October, 1962 – a few years before the yard was ravaged to build the loop and make room for the new highway.

My all-time favorite JBWX photo is the one at [chasingtrains.smugmug.com], which is how Ansel Adams probably would have photographed the Narrow Gauge if he had been a foamer like us.
