1978? I find that to be impossible unless this is somehow a reproduction model. According to Wikipedia, CWR M80 was scrapped in 1964!

Indeed, caption date is wrong. Motor 80 was wrecked in October 1963 in a head-on collision with Motor 100. While 'scrapped" (meaning written off the taxable equipment books) it was stored at Fort Bragg under a tarp until 1971 and was ordered cut-up when Georgia Pacific was purchasing Union Lumber Co. (and CWR) from Boise-Cascade Corp.

The photo was taken at Willits (just west of the depot) not Fort Bragg.
