Crystal Springs Fruit Growers


                                                                                                     Rolling Stock and Track Not Included

The Citrus Fruit Industry has been a big part of the railroad customer base for many years. From Florida and California to the Pacific Northwest; fruit packing plants or fruit exchanges were located next to the tracks all over our country carrying names from Sunkist and Del Monte to local names like Crystal Springs.

 

Crystal Springs Fruit growers is modeled after a prototype found in the Columbia River Gorge in Mosier, Oregon. The Mosier Fruit Growers has been located there for over 80 years. All though it's located on the Union Pacific mainline; the fruit growers no longer have rail service discontinuing that service several years ago. The trees shown in the picture are growing on the old spur road bed. Additionally, there used to be a small yard and station located between the fruit growers and the mainline shown.

 

 

Crystal Springs Fruit Growers is modeled after the prototype Mosier Fruit Growers. The model has been slightly downsized and redesigned to be more layout friendly than the prototype. Laser cut graphics have been provided so you can model it either as the Mosier fruit Growers or Crystal Springs. The kit is also designed to handle 2-40 foot reefers on the rail side providing switching and an additional customer for your railroad. As a note, the prototype handled three reefers when rail service once handled the shipping.
