PFE also did this on some ice reefers. Reporting mark and car number. You can see the "D" of SFRD in the photo. There were also stencils on ice hatches on some reefers.

Does anyone know when Santa Fe started this and if it was the complete reporting mark or just the car number? DO I need to put reporting marks on the roofs of my Santa Fe reefers on my 1955

Neat photo. Is there a date? Todd Sullivan

A destination produce terminal in any large city is going to have a mix of reefer owners no matter whose terminal it is. On 7/31/2022 7:14 PM, Philip Dove wrote: --

Neat shot, I wonder whose team tracks. The photographer is standing on a Santa Fe reefer with Transco running boards and the car number is stenciled in the middle of the roof.

Sorry l only have my smart phone and have never tried posting a picture, how do l do this? My general conclusion re cutouts was it probably wasn't worth doing, though it was better thank trying to

Hi, I, for one, would appreciate it if someone who has already done the "cutouts thing" would post the artwork used in filles or photos. (Why re-invent the wheel?)
