I found this pretty Kenworth just sor lounging around on the south side of Milwaukee, Wisconsin and just had to get a photo of it. July 15, 2001.

For Freight Car Friday here's a look at a car entrained on CSXT's daily Selkirk to Worcester manifest train M436 passing MP 83 on the Boaton Sub, the former Boston and Albany Railroad mainline.
ARMN 170298 is a modern refrigerated boxcar belonging to the Union Pacifc Railroad. ARMN was the American Refrigerator Transit Company’s marks for their mechanical reefers. ART was jointly owned by the Missouri Pacific and Wabash (later Norfolk and Western) railroads. N&W sold their remaining stake to MP in the late 1960s which gave the MoPac control of the ARMN mark. UP then acquired usage rights to the ARMN mark in 1982 when they merged the Missouri Pacific. The UP decided to ressurect the marks when they began rebuilding and re-equipping their mechanical refrigerator fleet. Former UPFE cars rebuilt at Pocatello, ID and newly built reefers all received the ARMN marks.
This particular car is a modern 72 ft 286K reefer built by Greenbrier in Apr. 2013 as part of a 99 car order. Union Pacific owns the largest fleet off reefers in the country which numbered nearly 5000 as of a decade ago.

Snigger. Yeah I'm being naughty. Of course the smoke is coming from the motive power. And the reefers, refrigerated cars, have something as harmless as orange juice or broccoli or some such.
But it tickled me...
So anyway, I used to take lots of these 'in yer face' type shots. But I don't so much anymore. Maybe I grew up? Maybe I learned how to use the camera? Whatever.
But one every now and again doesn't hurt. And I rather like the 'rough as hell' look I've added. It won't appeal to everyone I know. But there we are...
We're way out in the Idaho wilds here, a settlement called Bancroft on the old Highway 30 south-east of Pocatello. The road loops away from the new US30 at Lava Hot Springs and parallels the tracks the entire length until it meets back with the new 30 by Soda Springs. It's a cool drive, better still if you can bag a couple of trains in the process. And it's very quiet, so the chase is easy...
I later caught up with this pair 200 miles away at Green River WY, they arrived in the yard just as the sun went down...

Canadian Pacific 283405 is a 40' overhead ice bunker refrigerator car built by National Steel Car in 1954. Compared to end ice bunkers on traditional refrigerator cars, the overhead bunkers can maintain a more uniform temperature throughout the entire car for a longer length of time — especially when sitting still. These cars were popular with Canadian railroads which handled a lot of export meat shipments where loaded cars might have to sit at a port for a while before being unloaded.
Spotting features of these cars are the eight hatches along the roof of the car, shorter door height due to the overhead bunkers, and a permanent charcoal heater mounted under the car.
This model is by True Line Trains and is owned by the club.

Model "Trailer Tr1 MkII type T2" is build with LEGO® in scale 1:17,5 and motorized using LEGO® Power Functions. It is not build after a specific brand or type of trailer. This build represents a two axle reefer (refrigerated) trailer with tandem axle slider.
The trailer features: solid axle suspension on all axles, three sets of lights, a kingpin, remotely controlled landing gear and parking break, remotely controlled tandem axle slider, and many details.
Scale: 1:17,5
Length: 826 mm
Weight: 2,78 kg
Parts: 1710
It’s color scheme matches that of „Truck T2 MkII” extremely well. The trailer’s weight is reduced by a light weight constructions of both the walls and roof and also by reducing it’s frame. The „container” is strong enough by itself so the frame is only used to attach necessities. These include the tandem axle slider, Power Functions and landing gear.
This model is another custom design by Ingmar Spijkhoven AKA 2LegoOrNot2Lego that comes with building instructions and inventory/parts list!
You can build it yourself! To do so you can buy the Building Instructions. Early in the building process you will see what it is that you are building. You will be very excited from the moment you start the build of "Trailer Tr1 MkII" till you finish it with about 220 different parts totaling 1710 pieces.
What is particularly new to this model is the avoidance of the hard to get Black Technic Steering Arm Small (BrickLink ID 6571). The newly designed rear axle now uses another part instead which will be available for many years!
To adjust the weight on different axle groups the trailer’s tandem axle group can slide along the trailer. The tandem axle group can be moved forwards and backwards to put the axles where the weight is best distributed. With this the distance between the kingpin and the axle group can be altered. This is referred to as the trailer wheelbase. The longer the trailer wheelbase, the less maneuverable the truck-trailer combination.

Look what fell out of my oldies box. This nice KW was leased to Robbins Distributing. They used to haul a lot of beer out of Milwaukee. August 1967.
