Rich..you sure hit the nail on the head about SP running off business....when Lucky's built their distrubition center on the Winters Branch...SP had a 24 hour switcher working the building and cars were being brought in every day.....One of the managers one day decided to make him self look good and told Lucky's that the SP would be switching the plant three days a week...The Manager at Lucky's told him he would get back to him on this....The next day Lucky's told the SP that when the last cars were shipped and delivered all service would be stopped and every thing would be handled by truck....this is a simliar thing that happened to safeway except when Safeway built their new center west of Tracy...SP expected Safeway to have rail service ..but SP didn't approach Safeway about service and the business was lost.
