Re: Digest Number 4
Tom Cockle
Microscale has sign sets for Sunkist. HO set 87-771 has the large Sunkist lettering in a size about 1/2" high by 4 1/2" wide. If you want a larger sign you can use the O sets 48-299 and 48-300.

Packing House in Capistrano
John R. signor
Regrading Capistrano, I took a cab ride from San Diego to Los Angeles in a Surfliner awhile back and the virtually the only orange groves left on the entire route are in the curves just above Capistrano depot and they looked a bit worse for wear... -- John R. signor

Re: Packing House in Capistrano
Alain--pulled the Sanborne map of Capistrano from the early 1930's and

Show quoted text
it shows a vacant warehouse on a spur about 12/4 mile south of the depot and I vaguely recall a small scale packing house located there when I was photographing the SJC area in the late 60s and early 70s. The building is about 200' long and 45' wide and took up most of the spur. Think that fits the location of the photo you mentioned. There were quite a few orange groves in the San Juan Capistrano area (and believe they may still be there) north of the depot and west of the ATSF tracks with large wind machines for protecting the fruit against frost damage in cold weather.

You may want to contact the Corona Model Railroad Club () for additional resources.? They also are doing research on Corona for their layout.

John R Gibson
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýOK, men since most of the members are introducing themselves I guess I had
better do the same so you'll know a little more about me if and when I e-mail
the group OK.
?
My full name is John R.Gibson but all my friends and my radio handle is
"Hoot" or Hoot Gibson so any of you that are young enough will put the
connection of "Hoot" with Gibson and know that you would to be at least 60 years
old or older to get the connection or unless you are a Western Country
fan.? I was born and raised in Lamanda Park (East Pasadena) California.
starting in 1932 so you can read that I'm 36X2 years young.
?
I model the 2nd District of the Los Angeles Division or the area from San
Bernardino to Los Angels in HO scale here in our two car garage which will never
see the likes of a car so the garage is all mine.
?
I will be in the background reading and gathering information and from time
to time I will be sending e-mail's but for now I will stay quite OK.?
?
I do want to say thank you Bob for starting this group which is long
overdue but I have always been surprised that Jim Lancaster did not start such a
group long ago but it would seem the you are the chosen person so thank you
again for your interest in the Citrus Industries and the railroads that served
these industries.

Gary
All,
?
My name is Gary Gable and I live in Arvada, Colorado. I was raised in Redlands, California. I model the ATSF and SP Railroads in HO and N. I curreantly don't have room for an HO layout in my home, thus the N Scale but belong to an HO club.
?
The locals here in Colorado think I'm nuts since my home layout has Washington Fan Palms and Orange Groves for scenery. Remember this is the home for DRGW narrow gauge. I'm currently building the Corona, CA station from plans I received from an architect in AutoCAD. The era of my interest is 1949 to 1964, more or less.
?
With this said, I hope to meet others on the list who share my interests.

Corona Processing Plant & P.E.
At one time the juice processing plant located on the East side of
Joy Street in Corona, just South of the Santa Fe Mainline, had tracks servicing the plant which were parallel to Joy Street and perpendicular to the S.F. mainline. In the days before the nearby 91 Freeway, the Pacific Electric had tracks running down Third Street in this same area. Does anyone know if the P.E. served the Joy Street facility? Or can anyone specify where the plants tracks joined the Santa Fe mainline? Bob Chaparro Mission Viejo, Ca |

Re: 2nd District Spurs
cliffprather
By the time that I explored the Cucamonga Foothill Spur in the late
1960s, there was little reason to indicate its purpose beyond the spur to the winery along Foothill Blvd. The line ended in a citrus area and the could have been a packinghouse there and if I recall there were some metal tanks there that could been used for storage of smudge oil. A group of steam fans leased the end of the line at one time and ran some locomotives on it. The Rialto Foothill Spur was once called the Rialto Citrus Spur, but by the time I saw it there was no activity beyond Foothill Blvd and the line was used as a team track to unload lumber. There was an ammunition plant on the line at one time. Some shippers would do there own icing and the railroad would spot cleaned, but dry cars. The railroad would often bring these empty car out and spot them on a spur or siding and the locals/switches would use the as the shipper needed them. During the winter when the demand for reefers was low, the excess cars were stored on trackage that was not being uses for shippers. Because of the grade on the Cucamonga Foothill Spur, there was a switch switch derail installed north of the Pacific Electric crossing (Grapeland on the PE). The location was correctly named as it was in a vineyard. The crossing was stop and flag for the AT&SF.
