  1. Any idea on the refrigerator car?

  2. 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.

    1. 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

  3. This picture was taken at White River Junction.

  4. 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 !
