CyroTrans Reefers

Posted by Junctionfan on Saturday, October 23, 2004 8:57 AM

Hello everybody,

I am trying to find the number series for the reefer that are leased to McCains, Universal Foods, Carnation and the ones that say Arcticar.

The Arcti-cars were operated by General American, and have nothing to do with Cryo-Trans.

The Carnation cars were in CRYX series 1223-1272; the Universal Foods cars in series 1273-1322, and the McCain cars in series 2000-2074. Notice that I said, "were"--all of these cars are now gone, mostly rebuilt into mechanical reefers with the standard Cryo-Trans markings for such cars.

Thankyou for your help. I could have sworn that Cryo-Trans bought the Arcticars from GATX with GARX reporting marks that were re-stencilled. Is there another company that leased reefers from Cryo-Trans?

I'm pretty sure that Simplot just uses their own reporting marks and Lamb Weston doesn't lease from Cryo-Trans......maybe. The only Lamb Weston reefers I have seen have XTRX reporting marks.
