Any product with high priority/value might travel in these "Express Reefers" . Today Amtrak is offering cross country reefer service with four day transit, five day availability of mercandise. I also recall that the "Silk trains" traveled in express reefers from the west coast ports to the east coast mills, not that the commodity required refrigeration, but rather that the speed of transit required equipment designed for fast passenger trains speed, which the express reefers were designed for. <br />Will
