Salt has been harvested in Sicily from Phoenician times (ca. 2700). The production from these pans reached over 100,000 tons per year in the 1860's and was shipped all over Europe. Its use was key in preserving foods before refrigeration. Sicilian salt is produced today by the same methods, but production is much smaller and focused upon the gastronomic market due to its unique mineral content and taste. The windmills, used to pump water from pond to pond, have been replaced by mechanical pumps.
The Spring Castle, located adjacent to the former Great Falls Cotton Mill within Rock Island State Park, is one of the few remaining structures from the late 1800's apex of the textile mill industry in south central Tennessee. The "castle", which is essentially a larger version of a spring house, was used by the cotton mill's workers for refrigeration. It was probably built in the 1890's. While this structure alone is not listed, it was included in the listing of the Cotton Mill on the National Register of Historic Places on August 26, 1982.

Refrigeration Car
scanned from: The Freight Train Book
published 6/1980
author/photographer: Jack Pierce
ISBN: 0-87614-123-8
I got a package in the mail from a fellow railfan (thanks!). One of the items I received is a beat up copy of The Freight Train Book. The above photo is my favorite from the book. I liked it so much, I decided to share it with the masses.
Spring irrigation can have a little setback in the Bear Lake Valley. This photo was taken in 2003 and scanned from a slide.
Every dairy farm had one - a small building near the cow barn where the milk was stored [until it was taken to the local processing plant for bottling and shipping to markets.] On my grandparents' farm, refrigeration was by means of a large cement tank filled with icy spring water. The metal cans sat there in the water till there was enough to truck to the plant. A heavy cement lid kept it all cold.
This is a photo painting that started with a small cement block house that reminded me of the milk house on the old farm. Starting with the shed, the rest was painted from memory. My cousin and I spent a lot of time down here by the barn while milking was going on. There were always kittens to play with, and the hay mow on the barn's upper floor.

This is a traditional ice house, which is a type of building used to store ice year-round before the advent of modern refrigeration. This particular example is the restored 19th-century ice house at Greys Court in Oxfordshire, England, known for its distinctive thatched roof.
Ice houses were primarily used to preserve food and provide ice for cooling drinks and making desserts, especially in wealthy households and later for commercial purposes. Typically built partially or wholly underground, often with thick, insulated walls and a deep chamber to store ice collected during winter. Ice houses like this one offer a glimpse into historical methods of food preservation and luxury before the widespread availability of refrigerators.
During the winter, ice and snow would be cut from lakes or rivers, taken into the ice house, and packed with insulation (often straw or sawdust). It would remain frozen for many months, often until the following winter, and could be used as a source of ice during the summer months.
During the heyday of the ice trade, a typical commercial ice house would store 2,700 tonnes of ice in a 9-by-30-metre and 14-metre-high building.
Greys Court is a Tudor country house and gardens in the southern Chiltern Hills at Rotherfield Greys, near Henley-on-Thames in the county of Oxfordshire. Now owned by the National Trust, it is open to the public.

Stop looking up. They're already here.
Ext-Trailer Trails RV Campground-Night
(The camera pans under the main entrance sign, between rows of parked
RVs scattered between trees. The sound of crickets and frogs rise from
the small, nearby lake. Cut to a dining hall. The camera moves over the
rows of wooden picnic-style tables, through a pass-through window, along
cooking and refrigeration equipment, stopping and focusing on an
electric "EXIT" sign. Camera pans down, focusing on the wooden door
below the sign. The door knob jiggles, turns left and right a few times.
Finally, there's a metallic "popping" sound and the door swings open.
Two girls stand in the doorway, moonlight sparkling on the lake, beyond
them.)
Girl1: I don't think we should do this. Let's go back to your car.
Girl2: Don't wuss out now. Don't you want to get high?
(They enter the kitchen. Cut to the dining hall. They walk between the
tidy rows of tables.)
Girl1: How do you know about the weed?
Girl2: I used to come camping here. Summers, with my dad, y'know.
Girl1: Oh.
Girl2: I always saw the janitor sneak off. I thought it was just for a
drink or a regular smoke, right? (she smiles) So, I followed him, and I
saw him stash a bag of weed.
They get to the opposite side of the hall, where several office doors
face them, one marked "Janitorial", but Girl1 stops Girl2.
Girl1: What makes you think it'll still be there?
Girl2: The same bag won't be there, doofus. But I know the same guy
works here. There's gonna be a bag, trust me.
Girl1: I don't want to get in trouble.
Girl2: Then you shouldn't be hanging out with me.
(They laugh then Girl2 starts picking the lock while Girl1 keeps a lookout.)
Girl2: Presto! (opens the door)
Girl1: Okay, let's hurry!
Girl2: (looking past Girl1) What the hell?
Girl1: (looking over her shoulder) What?
Girl2: I thought I saw something by the doors.
Girl1: (turns to look) I don't see anything.
Girl2: I guess it could have been a shadow.
Girl1: I'll keep an eye on the doors. You grab the weed! (she faces the
doors)
Girl2: I'm pretty sure there's nothing out there to worry about.
Girl1: Please hurry! (to Girl2) I think I saw something move past the doors!
Girl2: People are always worried about "what's out there," when they
should be worried about what's already here. (from behind Girl1)
Girl1: (turning to Girl2) What's that supposed to mean?
Girl2: (smiles) You'll see.
(The irises of Girl2's eyes glow golden and she grasps Girl1's arm when
Girl1 tries to recoil in fear.).
Razer's theme plays.

This refrigeration machine was once used in East St. Louis. In the near future, these pieces will be assembled once again, according to the attendants at the farm museum, at which time I look forward to posting an assembled picture. On the right is the appearance of an eye, giving the illusion of an uncomfortable stare.

An old refrigeration unit originally housed in a room since nearly completely overrun by nature, with walls and ceiling mere fractions of their former utilitarian selves.
This is an Isuzu Refrigeration Truck. I was wondering if this was an original paint job, so I googled Isuzu box trucks. They show them as model NPR, but this truck looks like NRR. Apparently, the NJ distribution center claims these are some of the most popular box trucks on the market. Hmmm...I’ve only ever seen a couple. I couldn’t find this paint job, and I can’t identify the year.
Anyway, I don’t know what is being hauled around that may need refrigeration. Maybe crabs.
This shot was another one taken out of the car window, while I was trying not to be seen, so it isn’t that clear. A few weeks ago, I was trying to get a picture of this truck when this guy’s neighbor walked up to me and wanted to know what I was doing. So this is the best I could do. HTT
Standard 40 ft. shipping containers with refrigeration units populate the head end of Union Pacific's Global 2, Illinois - Oakland, California Z-train as it rounds a photogenic curve in Henefer, Utah on Feb. 24, 2024. The combination of K-Line, Nippon Yusen Kaisha, and Mitsui O.S.K. Lines created the Japanese-owned ONE in 2017. Here, a large shipment of premium beef from midwestern US farmers is en route to Japan.

Before commercial refrigeration arrived, ice cutter harvested heavy blocks of ice from the frozen Saint Lawrence River. The blocks were transported by horse-drawn sleds to Montreal, visible here on the horizon. The ice would then be stored in insulated warehouses to be used in summertime. Cullen skillfully captured the distinctive light and colours reflected by ice, frost and snow in this scene of bygone winter labour.
