IPFX Reporting Marks & Amtrak ExpressTrak reefers
Author: degilchr

UP Pueblo, CO - Walsenburg, CO turn on Saturday 7/21 (Normally nocturnal Monday - Wednesday - Friday) had five reefers on the front end. Three CRYO-TRANS which are regulars. Two AMTRAK ExpressTrak with report mark IPFX. Cannot find IPFX reporting mark.

Empty rail train tacked on the end.

Grab shots.

Couple more shots. Looks like some of the crew getting breeze in 95 degree heat.

Cars came from SL&RG. Most likely Potatoes if loaded.

Haven't determined owner for IPFX, but those two cars (74045 and 74096) are their entire fleet (unless they got some other car types as well)!

Try Iowa Pacific Fruit Express....

And Colorado potatoes are too good to become french fries. None of the San Luis Valley potatoes become either french fries or potato chips, they are all sold as fresh potatoes...
