Show Notes

Mike Jordan discusses the operations on his Santa Maria Industrial Railroad layout. The majority of the work on this layout involves fruit and produce packing.  Learn how he adapted the moves the prototype did to get the huge California harvest to the rest of the nation. From cleaning cars to fumigating, icing many times over, and even rebuilding cars due to damage from ice/salt mixtures. He created his own unique one-use car cards and the waybill system.
