I have
uploaded some documents found at the Minnesota Historical Society in the
Northern Pacific Co files.
These are AAR
documents and the desk staff on site OK'd these of any copyright restrictions
on the MHS's part as he felt these were originally for open distribution from
the AAR and so they are posted here.
The orders
covering the substitution of refrigerator cars for box cars are listed from
inception to about 1956. No info past that date was present.
These 10 pages in the folder list the history of substitution arrangement - Refrigerator Cars for Box
Cars on Westbound Continental Traffic, and are found in the file: Refrigerator Cars for Box Cars Refrigerator
Cars for Box Cars
