Intermountain's Yesteryear Growers Express reefers are very nice with fruit crate label billboards with GEX reporting marks. I have four of them, two wood ones from the 1930's and two steel ones from the 1940's.I also have the Official Railway Equipment Registers (ORERs) for several years. The problem is that I cannot find references to just Growers Express. Yes, Fruit Growers Express (FGEX among other reporting marks). GEX is the marks for General Electric which did not have, as far as I know, wood or steel reefers.A google search for "growers express" reefer -"fruit growers" yielded the modern Growers Express that was involved with spinach contamination some time ago.Does anyone have any hard information on Growers Express GEX? Perhaps GEX was the reporting marks early on for Growers Express, something happened to Growers Express in the 40's or after, and then these marks came to General Electric some years later?These cars appear to be modeled after southern California growers although there is one for Arizona.Any thoughts, or are these fantasies and not based on a prototype.[banghead]
