Western Railroad Discussion > Reefer Madness In Mojave...........Date: 03/21/19 10:28 Reefer Madness In Mojave........... Author: Fiftyfooter Last Thursday 3/14, BNSF ran a solid unit reefer train NB thru Mojave! I am thinking stored cars headed to the valley for the growing season.
Nice mix of ATSF, BNSF and 2 BN green cars. Must have been a least 80 of them!    Date: 03/21/19 10:31 Re: Reefer Madness In Mojave........... Author: Fiftyfooter Few More

However, those aren't reefers. Those are 60 foot insulated boxcars used for wine, canned goods, beer, and things of that nature.

But yeah, I'd only consider a car with temperature control apparatus (heating/cooling) a "refrigerator" car. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 03/21/19 11:06 by CPR_4000.

Bill Deaver Tehachapi, CA Date: 03/21/19 14:59 Re: Reefer Madness In Mojave........... Author: bmarti7 Many of those cars were originally placarded to return to BN Agent Golden. CO and were used in exclusive Coors beer service. At one time, the BN ran 3 "beer runs" per day on the former C & S branch.

Author: coach Probably headed for the Modesto & Empire Traction interchange, where they use LOTS of these boxcars for their customers in many warehouses. Lots of food shipments, wine shipments, etc.
