HI

In 1953 EMD produced a prototype box-car. They called it 'Frigi-Frater'.

Where can I find photos and specifications on this car.

Were there any more built and put into service ?

Thanks

Charlie

General Motors supplied components to FGE for a mechanical reefer around that time -- I believe Detroit Diesel and Frigidaire teamed up for the refrig unit.
