Photo shot by my Dad, Jay Thomson, at Etowah, TN in December 2007
This is a digital shot Dad took in Etowah a few days ago using a small point-and-shoot of my brothers. It's smaller than most of the shots of his (or mine) I post because of the camera's limitations.
Several Cryo-Trans reefer cars made up part of a CSX freight idling through the Christmas holiday in the Etowah, TN yard on December 24, 2007.
This car was modeled using a factory painted Walthers express reefer. The car is not a perfect match to the prototype but it is close enough. This car would have been built in Santa Fe's West Wichita shops in 1953 starting out leased to REA and then returned to the Santa Fe in 1969. Some of these cars made it into the 90's in MOW service.
The company was founded on December 7, 1906 as a joint venture between the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific railroads.
At one point was the largest refrigerator car operator in the world. The cars were all retired by the late 1950s, among the last wooden reefers in PFE's fleet.
