PFE reefers in context

Group,
Following along through link from Bob's photo posting. A line of PFE reefers showing weathering patterns from the day. http://digitalcollections.uwyo.edu/luna/servlet/detail/uwydbuwy~107~107~124~316791?qvq=q%3Arailroad&mi=1740&trs=3026 Interesting that this '50's era black and white paint scheme line up is still mostly wood sided cars.

I don’t know the date of this photo, but it is very obviously after PFE stopped washing cars. Tony Thompson tony@signaturepress.com

And Tony, while I want to get a copy of "The Book" I have not yet done so. Could you let on the approximate time when "PFE stopped washing cars?"
