I've written a new blog post about house car distribution on the Santa Fe based on data in a company accounting document.  This first installment covers refrigerator cars from 1929-1943.

John,

Great information! I look forward to seeing your future posts on the subject. I have to say that I find the pre-war on-line percentage of SFRD reefers to be remarkably high. I would have expected more of them to be "on the road" on delivering produce to other railroads, although I understand that mileage-wise, more than half of every trip was probably on home rails.

Regards,
Bruce
