This 40’ double-sheathed
wood reefer with vertical brake wheel is painted box car red with reefer yellow
sides, colorful red, white & black logo, black lettering and runs on black
Bettendorf trucks. The reefer was the result of inventive minds such as Gustavus
Swift in the late 1800s. Gustavus Swift began as a butcher’s apprentice and rose
to become one of the country’s most prominent meat barons. When the reefers were
introduced to the meat packing industry, they were instantly welcomed as a profitable
alternative to shipping live animals in stock cars.
