Re: Carstens reefer
Here is a link to the 1913 Seattle Car and Foundry catalog. You can download
a pdf in the menu box to the left. Go to page 47 to see Carstens reefer 108 in their White Swan Shortening paint scheme. The description states ice bunkers in the ends. On page 48 is what appears to be an identical car for Frye & Company (an early meat packer in Seattle), which states the doors are located at diagonal corners with ice bunker in the ends. http://archive.org/details/catalogueno300seatrich Doug Harding www.iowacentralrr.org
