I was just reading through the article on Seatrain Lines in the issue of Classic Trains that arrived today. It immediately made me think of a question that has been bugging me for years. Sometime in the middle or late 1960s, I saw a Fruit Growers Express refrigerator car (40-foot, in the RBNX 82000 series) fully painted in a Seatrain Lines paint scheme--solid dark gray, with a white logo of the newest design (two twisted arrows). I didn't know enough to take down the car's entire number back then, but I certainly wish I had done so now!
Does anyone else know anything about these obviously obscure cars (or maybe that was the only one?)? I'd love to know the number(s) of anything painted this way, and how many there were.

I've got a slide copy of one if we can exchange email addresses...perhaps through the PM feature.
