Before air freight and the highways took control, the railroads moved premium perishable shipments in refrigerator cars or express reefers.
Cryo-Trans, Inc. offers the largest fleet of privately-owned, mechanically refrigerated and insulated railcars. By the end of 2018, Cryo-Trans, Inc. had more than 2,000 private railcars on the North American railway network.
.The Yang Ming reefer has to be my best looking model and has more decoration than any other in the range to date.
Refrigerated containers are called reefers for short. I shot this after I picked up some Kool-Aid from Food Lion which is now Bottom Dollar. I've always loved how stacked containers look.

If you're gonna go, go all the way! I think it all started with light yellow 1x1x5 bricks. I wanted to build a reefer with them, but had no greater plans. Once it started to take shape (with black ends and roof), it got me thinking. When I tried the blue roof, it was a eureka moment. It reminded me that it'd been a while since I'd had a Moon Pie, and my last Moon Pie Tshirt had died years earlier, and it was about time for a new hat anyway. There's a saying that Moon Pies get better the closer you are to Chattanooga, but with the internet, Chattanooga is always close.

RBBQ 78052 at Clyde, Illinois on an unknown day in May 1980, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. The following is from Burlington Bulletin No. 12, REEFERS, edited by Hol Wagner:
All insulated boxcars produced after 1963 were both owned and operated by either the CB&Q or the C&S. Cars built after 1963 carried RBBQ or RBCS reporting marks and were lettered BURLINGTON in the yellow band rather than BURLINGTON REFRIGERATOR EXPRESS. RBBQ 78000 - 78299 were turned out by Havelock ( CB&Q shops in Nebraska ) between November 1964 and September 1965. These cars took full advantage of the efficiency and light weight of urethane foam insulation; they were 60 feet long inside and had a capacity of 155,000 pounds. And because the foam was so efficient, thinner sidewalls were possible, so all the RBL's ( and mechanical reefers ) built at Havelock after mid-1963 were outside braced. All 300 had cushion underframes - National 3-C gliding sills for the first 290 cars and Miner M-20 hydraulic cushion underframes for the last 10. Only these last 10 cars, 78290 - 78299, carried HYDRAULIC CUSHIONING lettering on the yellow band; the other 290 cars had no lettering in this space. The last 10 also featured a different style plug door than the other cars. Interestingly though, all 300 cars had the same load-securing equipment inside: Equipco one- and two-piece load dividers, Evans six-position side fillers, and Landreth liner panels on ends, doors, ceiling, and portions of the sides. Cars 78000 - 78099 were assigned to Coors beer service, and the beginning of a massive shift back to rail transport by one of the nation's largest brewers was under way.
This is my version of an old 40ft reefer. Wood-sided w/1x8 tiles. This was also the first model i built and ordered from the Lego factory.

This is the outgrowth of my LDD 40' wood sided reefer. This one is in the 'Pacific Fruit Co.' colors and someday i'll make stickers. And maybe LDD will support it one day!
This HO scale refrigerator car was a special run from Sunshine Models. It's a resin kit but included a large number of photo-etched parts, making it Pierre Oliver's all-time favorite Sunshine kit.

This vessel came out of Gibraltar waters at speed to enter a shipping lane in the Strait of Gibraltar. Looks like it has seen better days.

On the 4th March 2017 the reefer "Andalucia Star" (1991, 12,714DWT) shelters in Lyme Bay whilst enroute from Russia to Peru.
Reefers are becoming rare as more refrigerated cargo is moved by container so even if with awkward light it was worth a photo. The traditional Blue Star Line name brings back memories of the Falklands veteran that then gave so much pleasure to many as the "Orange Star" before being scrapped in 2010.
