in Minnesota... Also there is an interesting photo of MN&S reefer 809. The ORER'sfrom 1919 to 1934 list box cars in number series 800 to 810. They were not listed in 1939. There are no reefers listed in the ORER's for the MN&S. Anyone know what is going on with these cars? Cyril, In 1935, cars 800-809 are listed as car type XI (insulated box, although the description merely says "Box". Notice that reefer hatches or hatch platforms aren't visible in the photo. The series is not listed in Jan. 1940. I've learned to be a bit skeptical of dates in rrpicturearchive. Apparently it allows only an exact date to be entered, so 1/1/1940 doesn't necessarily mean the photos were taken that day. It could mean that the info with the original photo said Jan 1940, or 1940, or circa 1940. (or the date could just be an error). Jack Mullen
