I was recently watching a train on the U.P. main out of Chicago. I noticed it was pulling quite a few reefer units. My son asked several questions that perhaps the talent on line here can answer. <br /> 1. Who maintain's the engines on these reefer units? Does the railroad contract that out? <br /> 2. Who fuels these units? How many times are they fueled say between Calf. and New York? <br /> 3. Are there alarms on the engine to notify the crew when one of the reefer's is about to run out of gas or has a malfuction? <br /> 4. Is the U.P. the only one who uses reefer's? <br /> 5. How cold can these reefers get? Can you haul frozen foods in them? <br /> TIM A
