A reefer question?


Q1xaMacArthur1@...
 

A 1955 ORER list S.F.R.D. #s 37190 to 37389 AAR Class RS
as 50'-6 1/2" Cubic capacity 2790 feet.
Cars with circulating fans 37385 to 37389.

My questions on the latter group are:
What year were these built?
Are these all steel cars?
What Rr class were these?

Thanks for any info that you might have on these.

These were the 50' Rr-30 class steel reefers recently modeled in HO
scale by Athearn, which were built in 1940 by General American. For
more information see my article in the Sept. 2006 issue of Railmodel
Journal.
