Description

  MTH Custom Run / MTH Special Run

Refrigerator cars, also commonly referred to by their shortened name as “reefers” were a revolutionary design that allowed for the widespread shipment of perishable food products such as dairy, meat, and vegetables. 

The earliest such cars date back to the mid-19th century, naturally using ice as a means of cooling. After the development of the frozen food industry in the 1950s the reefer began to loose its near monopoly on the country’s perishable business.

A late-19th century wood-bodied reefer required re-icing every 250 to 400 miles.  In the latter half of the 20th century, mechanical refrigeration began to replace ice-based systems.
