PFE Reefer in NYC Express Train
WHAT A PHOTO! Wow. Definitely St Louis. That concrete shoreline runs for a good distance. A rebuilt PFE BR-1 - Before the rebuilding the road name was written on a wide fascia "letterboard". Tim O'Con

If memory serves, the group of R40-10s were the only freight reefers to enter express service. In the photo, there's a tapered shadowline from the ice hatch platform to the roof. That's a giveaway tha

PFE Reefer in NYC Express Train
Maybe I'm wrong but is the PFE car one of their freight type wood reefers converted to express service like they did with steel R40-10 cars? Somehow it doesn't look like the regular wood express reefe

Ron, IC open top cars were black until 1947. In 1947 they began painting them red. In 1955 they went back to black. In1955 they began replacing the wood sides with steel sides in the war emergency hop

IC two-bay hopper color
I see from published photos, and kit notes, that IC two-bay hoppers were painted red in the fifties era. I have a P2K two-bay hopper model, originally a war emergency car and rebuilt with steel sides,

I looked at this, and the 1950 photo of #672, and assumed they were used as way cars (LCL). Beautifully kept, weren't they? Al Brown, Melbourne, Fla.

If the photo date is correct (1957) would the truss rods and arch bar trucks also indicate "non interchange" use only?
