Matt I now have you some photos, you pick [img]http://www.svry.com/roster/sv_reefer_3.jpg[/img] Hardware on this car body suggest that it may possibly have originally been a Tiffany reefer. Built in the late 19th century these cars were used by such lines as the Denver South Park & Pacific to transport perishable goods. This reefer most likely came to the Sumpter Valley from the Utah & Northern. This unusual car has a unusual tin roof, and apparently double siding. at one point the car suffered a fire as many pieces of siding are charred underneath. Traces of the original horsehair and canvas insulation can still be found inside. This car is currently missing most hardware, including grab irons and stirrups, but is in fairly good condition. The original identity of this car is still under investigation.

These cars were 36 feet and 7 ft. 9 ins. high. The door was 6 feet wide and there was a small end door two feet by 2 ft. 6 ins. They rode on arch bar trucks and had a metal roof. Will look more in A.M. sorry Matt
