The rrrrest of the story is that the cars with the LRX reporting mark were assigned to the Lackawanna Railroad. They were all wooden ACF reefers of the demensions you mentioned. Big'ns, they were.

When the steel reefers with MDT reporting marks arrived in the early 1950s, the wooden ones got DL&W reporting marks. A few years ago Intermountain offered PFE reefers in LRX lettering and paint ala the 1939 World's Fair, and they looked pretty good, actually. Mike Del Vecchio
