The only two customers left in town when my son Ron and I visited in 1991 was a grocery warehouse and a propane dealer. The area which had been the downtown yard had already been turned into a parking lot. The grocery warehouse was reached through a complete 180 degree curve into a stub alley! The CP kept a switcher at Victoria just because of that curve, they also had to stick with 40' box cars for that reason. There is no rail service to Victoria at all now. JP
