Some further history:
The Locomotive Engineer
behind Locomotive Engineer brand fruitThe Locomotive Engineer
fruit label is an example of advertising art that is collected by many
today. But few know that the man behind the label was once an engineer on
the Erie. Thomas Mouradick was an Armenian emigrant who worked for the
Erie running coal trains between Cleveland and Randall, OH in the early
1900s. After many years of service with the Erie, he went west and hired
on with the Santa Fe before becoming a fruit grower and shipper near Lone
Star, CA. A successful grower, Mouradick shipped many carloads of fruit to
eastern markets over the Erie.
