That’s in the St. Louis coachyard.
Three clues: the background building that says ‘DIXIE’, the Illinois Central baggage car, and last but not least, the tower of Union Station in the far background.
Something else pretty interesting, is that this is one of the few Geeps I’ve ever seen that was repainted after 1956 with the lettering ‘MISSOURI PACIFIC’ with no ‘LINES’. Lots of F units were repainted this way, but not many Geeps. New Geeps ordered during this period also would not have had the ‘LINES’.
Of course, it’s a passenger Geep.
