Re: A few reefers unloading produce in Chicago
A destination produce terminal in any large city is going to have a mix of reefer owners no matter whose terminal it is.

Re: A few reefers unloading produce in Chicago
Ah, Wood St yard. Worked many a shift there as a yard clerk in the early 70s. The yard handled almost entirely potatos and onions. The brokers would slice open a random bag of produce and then cut one

I worked in that yard during my schooling - no one seemed much interested in what was going on down at

Re: A few reefers unloading produce in Chicago
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.

The two trucks on the right have very interesting body style, one that I have never seen before, the very low sides.
It is easy to imagine that the bottom line of lettering on the nearest truck

Sure. In fact, Broadway Limited will be happy to sell you mooing and oinking PRR Class K7A stock

Hi,

post the artwork used in filles or photos. (Why re-invent the wheel?)
