At first look the car suggests REA express but REA marked the right side 'express refrigerator' and that far left letter looks like a 'K' to me.
I did a quik google search of milk refrigerator cars and found https://riverraisinmodels.com/libraryData/milktrains.pdf On page 24, it shows a green paint, the rounded roof and the grab bars rather than a ladder - a GPEX express car.
Theres no logo or writing on the sides but who knows what got added after it left the shop.
Thanks, should have figured that out - GPEX (Hood) cars marked “Milk Refrigerator” on pages 29, 34, 35 of volume 1 of the Liljestrand Nehrich ‘Railway Milk Car’ books
I hadn't paid much attention to the milk car, my eye was drawn to the small car stops at the end of the spur ....... and a junction main track just feet beyond them !
Any idea on the refrigerator car?
