QUOTE: Originally posted by dubyaM6 I made a casual inquiry today in the Patapsco & Back Rivers office and evidently they are using the car to ship tin plate. I think they are using it as a 75 ft box car and not using the refrigeration. They got a laugh from the "cold rolled steel" remark.
QUOTE: Originally posted by ericsp When I read the thread title, I thought that it would have been there to be melted down. However, that is an almost brand new reefer that is made (mostly) of fiberglass, although I am sure that the underframe is steel. I would guess espeefoamer is correct. I cannot resist this joke. Maybe it is picking up cold rolled steel.
