These 40’ wood-sheathed reefers with flush doors and vertical brake wheels are a new body style offered by Micro-Trains. They are painted box car red with reefer yellow sides. They bear the black, red and white logos of Burlington Route, and are lettered in black on the sides and white on the ends. They were build in 1945 and serviced in May 1963, and run on Bettendorf trucks. World War II steel shortages forced the use of wood sides, on otherwise all-steel cars. These Burlington Refrigerator Express cars are stenciled in the post- 1958 black gothic lettering.
