Thomas C. Mouradick’s M&A Distributing may have formalized its corporate status in the early 1970s, but its spirit first rolled off Fresno’s railcars in the 1930s with the iconic Locomotive Engineer crate label. This dynamic lithograph served as a bold guarantee of movement and reliability, promising that grapes grown under the San Joaquin Valley sun would arrive at distant markets bursting with sweetness and firmness. Over the decades, Mouradick’s packing shed pioneered optical sizing lines, rapid-chill conveyors, and state-of-the-art cold-storage tunnels, ensuring every cluster met the engineer’s unspoken vow of quality. Today, original Locomotive Engineer labels are prized by collectors and historians alike, capturing a golden era when California agriculture and railroad ingenuity fused to deliver premium fruit coast-to-coast.
