nice 1910 colorized postcard view of C&EI 60286
In the 1912 CBD, p.358-9 there are plans for a Frisco Refrigerator Line reefer. I presume this was also part of this consortium. Larry King

Re the B&M cars- the 1916 CBD figure.425 on,pg.384 shows the Western Stl Car underframe for these cars. I'm not sure if this is exactly the same as the "B&M" underframe. Note these cars had 8x12 brake

Armour reefer underframe
Here's something I came across in the 1908 Railroad Gazette (online at archive.org) It is the steel reinforcement used by Armour Car Line to strengthen their wood reefers ca.1907. (note "Armour RSU 2"

Union Pacific Armour Yellow Paint
Something I've always wondered about... Is it called Armour Yellow because it was the color Armour painted their reefers, back before there was a PFE? Larry King

B&O underframes
Dear group In 1917 the B&O ordered a batch of steel underframe freight reefers. Plans were published in the "Railway Age" trade magazine. The article stated that the underframe was supplied by Ralston

Yes, it was rebuilt by Ryan- #257799 was in a Ryan ad in the 1922 CBD, along with a really neat rebuild of a King patent hopper car, also for NYC. The Lsection trucks I agree were probably original. L

I think that is an SP Harriman design flat car. As to the switch, I have heard of No.3 switches being used in the old days-like the DL&W circular freight house and yard on the waterfront in New Jersey

What is This Tank Body?
I think it might be an old SP O-50-4 fuel oil car from about 1905,those were large (12,000 gal) and both the small dome and the "fore and aft" elbow safety valves would fit. I also think it is a radia
