And many of our resource files and operations discussions apply to refrigerator car and perishable operations anywhere in the country. Bob Chaparro Group Moderator

The group is the Citrus Industry Modeling Group and is located at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/citrusmodeling/ on Yahoo. Membership is free. The first purpose of this group is to collect, preserve and share information about the citrus industry in Southern California as it pertains to the operations of the Santa Fe, Southern Pacific and Union Pacific Railroads. This includes growing, picking, packing and shipping activities and the equipment, procedures, practices, economic and social aspects related to these activities. The second purpose of this group is to use this information to create accurate and realistic representations of the citrus industry and related railroad equipment and operations on model railroads. This group is open to all persons with an interest in the above. Contributions are encouraged but not required. Already posted on this site are a number of useful links, photos and files of interest to modelers, rail fans and historians. These offerings will grow with member participation. The group also is a forum to exchange modeling ideas and resources through message postings. Stop in and checkout this new group.
