Fred,

Meat Reefers were generally owned or leased long term by shippers. SFRD's reefers were almost all for the fresh fruit and vegetable trade. Any reefers on the A&D would have most likely been Meat Reefers owned by leasing companies like GATX (including SRLX cars), or packers like Armour, Hormel, Cudahy, etc.. Who were the meat packers who shipped on the A&D? By the mid-1950's when the A&D declared independence from the SOU, a lot of the transport of meat was by truck.
