I remembered the VCR back in the 80's in Oxnard used to bring flats of
berries and cartons of Bud Antle celery to the yard office on 5th street
and live them outside and let the local and yard crews and clerks fight
over the fruit and vegetables. Pacific Beverage used to kick down both
VC and SP guys cases of Budweiser and that was great after top icing
for a trip down to Moorpark to switch Egg City with Conductor George Chowcoski?
Who rather drink VODKA! Camarillo used to have a coors distributor there south
of the siding to day, and they kicked down cases for the trip west back to
Oxnard. Do that today and you will be talking to MOP or the trainmaster !
and on the way if lucky to Salt lake city. The good ole days of real Railroading
are gone and most rails today hate their jobs.

Thanks for the memories.
