SFRC 56531 |
| Description: |
Think of refrigerator cars, and most railfans first think of Pacific Fruit Express, the joint venture of Union Pacific and Southern Pacific. But for some of us, the Santa Fe's large fleet of refrigerated equipment comes to mind. For me, these bright orange cars with blue doors, and the icicle Mechanical Temperature Control (MTC) logo were among my favorite freight cars. SFRC 56531 was spotted in Fullerton, California, on November 24th, 1972, and this Rr-96 class car was only a few months old, having been built in the Santa Fe's shops the previous June. |

CR 359002 (ex-E-L) Mechanical Refrigerator |
| Description: |
CR 359002 betrays its Erie-Lackawanna heritage by the diamond-shape blank spot where the "E-L" logo used to be. Location unknown, dhte approximate, but hey: at least it's a picture. |

SPFE 453332 |
| Description: |
What was once a very common sight in southern California is the citrus packing house, typified here by the Valdora Produce Company, located at the intersection of California and Barton in Bryn Mawr, California. Pacific Fruit Express mechanical refrigerators are being loaded for a trip east. By this date (January 31, 1978) packing houses were becoming increasingly rare, and even this example would soon be razed. On this site today sits yet another Arco gas station. |
