GUARANTEED DELIVERY

Wood reefers cooled with ice were the only way many Americans could get fresh meats and produce prior to modern refrigeration and modern truck deliveries. These cars were used by railroads and private companies alike and often were adorned in colorful schemes to serve as rolling billboards.

PROTOTYPE INFORMATION: 

The 36’ reefer is a highly detailed model of the car that was a mainstay in the meatpacking industry during the steam era. Based upon cars built by the General American Car Company for the Cudahy Packing Co. in 1925, the 36’ wood reefer is representative of the thousands of cars that transported meat, dairy, beer and food products well into the 1960’s.
