Product Description
Refrigerated rail transportation revolutionized the produce industry in North America, allowing fresh commodities from the west to be sold for the first time in the east, and vice-versa. To expedite the delivery of these time-sensitive goods, railroads attached Express Reefers to their priority passenger trains, adding one or more of these specially built cars ahead of the baggage and passenger cars.
Features include:
- highly detailed painted bodies with precision graphics
- blackened machined metal wheels with RP25 contours
- magnetically operated E-Z Mate® Mark II couplers
- non-magnetic blackened brass axles with needlepoint bearings
- Celcon® trucks
