It was orchard supply of Sacramento CA that was taking the loads of fertilizer, two of the tank cars ended up on the YLSR pretty much abandoned on the Cal West seeds spur. The tank cars were converted to holding oil for the SP1233 while it was running and one of the cars was moved to Oakdale when the MCRR 18 was running there. That car is lettered for Hercules powder. The last load east or north of Winters on the Esparto branch was a load of Maytag appliances for Karlstads Appliance in Madison Ca. SP had to fix a wash out to deliver the car, after the car was picked up the line was abandoned north of Winters.
