Hi everybody...

Does anyone have any information on a 50 foot, 50 ton Brex Steel Reefer? It's unusual in the fact that it has two doors on each side of the car...one in the middle and the other on the far left. It also has 8 ice hatches on the roof instead of the 4 I've seen normally. I know it's from at least the 1940's if not earlier. "Brex" might be a shipping company similiar to FGE or PFE but the internet has not yielded much on this...it's only a hunch on my part.

I'd love to know a little background of the car and which lines used it. Thanks...

Bill
