I am asking this question from a modeling standpoint and looking for advice for operations.
?
How often did cars get set out and picked up at Citrus packing houses.
I know it varies so maybe some additional questions...
How long did it take to load a 36 foot or 40 foot ice bunker reefer?? How about a 57 foot mechanical reefer?
Would a car be iced and delivered the same day?? Could a car be delivered and loaded the next day?
Are there examples of cars being iced and delivered for loading in the AM and then picked up loaded in the PM?
I am looking for answers for a packing house without its own ice making capability.
?
I am modeling the Santa Barbara area.? The Puritan Ice Company supplied ice to the citrus packers (lemons).? There were two packing houses in Carpinteria, one in Goleta and at least one in Santa Barbara.? I believe they all received daily service.? Another train ["The Smokey"] originating in San Luis Obispo came down the coast every day, picking up perishables as it traveled toward Los Angeles.
?
Any help is appreciated.
