Subject: Re: [STMFC] National Car cars


: Bill Welch refers to Fruit Growers Express as "the
nation's second largest
: reefer entity." Uh, depends on how you count, Bill. In
terms of car
: ownership, FGEX and NX combined added up to 12,947 as of
the 1/53 ORER,
: third behind PFE and SFRD (which had 14,521 cars on the
active roster at
: that time). But if you include the Burlington (BREX) and
Great Northern
: (WFEX) fleets, which were owned by those railroads but
operated for them by
: Fruit Growers, then the number of cars under Fruit
Growers' control was
: 20,492. Just to keep the record straight.
