Yes.
The cannery is the biggest customer in Oakdale. All of the boxcar traffic is handled on the UP side. Covered hoppers are handled on the Sierra side.
Sconza has never had any rail shipments as far as I know. The lead on the UP side has a rail removed at the switch. The Sierra side is plugged up with stored cars and the rails have been paved over at Yosemite Ave.
The feed mill hasn't had any cars in a while now that I have seen.
There is a lumber transload operation in the yard that gets loaded centerbeams.
