Evidence for loading SFRD reefers on the SP
I was reading Tony Thompson's latest blog on PFE Ice Reefers and upgrading old CB&T SFRD reefers. In the article on SFRD reefers, Tony mentions that SRFD reefers were not loaded on SP, and vice-versa

Re: ice service reefers
Bill,
This may have changed over time. Have you looked at the date of the dwg vs. the photos? Are there any revision notes on the dwg that would call out changes?

miner refrigerator door fixtures drawing no.7850
I'm wondering if anyone on this list may happen to know where a copy of this drawing can be located (if it isn't long gone!) It was referenced in an CC&F drawing of CPR refrigerator cars from 1922,

Re: ice service reefers
Bill,
Speaking of ice service reefers on "their owner railroads", the best double take I think I've had is Pennsylvania car #498350, shown on page 68 of the PRR Color Guide to Freight and Passenger

Re: ice service reefers
Hi Bill,
I presume that old reefer doors were easy to lock?????? I believe the C&O used an ex-reefer to store explosives in Richmond.

I believe the FGE, to keep prices down, had the C&O move ice from nearby Portsmouth, Ohio, (N&W) to their re-icing station in the C&O Russell, Kentucky, yard.

Re: Sunshine Order
As I understand it, the business is not for sale, so the point is moot.
However, if I was in a position to and so inclined to do so, only part of the product line would be of interest to me.
