Lionel O Gauge Refrigerator Cars
Lionel O Gauge Refrigerator Cars or more commonly know as reefers.
By the 1960’s, railroads’ aging ice reefers were being rapidly replaced by vast fleets of efficient Mechanical Refrigerator Cars. Manufacturers like Pacific Car & Foundry and Western Fruit Express had developed more efficient ways to keep perishables fridge-fresh when transported by rail. These modern, diesel-powered cars have become a common and colorful site on America’s rails ever since their introduction.
