Not likely that they became part of Western Fruit Express. CB&Q reefers became Burlington Reefer Express BREX. WFEX was the Great Northern reefer subsidiary.

EL-Steamtown photo archive. I suspect these images were taken to document an
accident, possibly in conjunction with the Milwaukee box car images that posted yesterday.
Based upon some background details, it seems like this is the same location.
The images date is not specific, only noting a 1919-1920 period.
The car does have a 6-19 reweigh stencil. I was wondering if this car, or
others of this series, would become Western Fruit Express cars within a few
years of these photographs.
Here are the links.
Two days ago there were images of a Wilson reefer that has
met something more robust. Part of a CB&Q automobile box car can be seen in
the last image. It bears a 1-18 reweigh date.
Here are those links.
Enjoy!
