> 1. Dailies, M 3/5/90 It's amazing just how many of those Rr-56's ended up in maintenance of way service. This one's coat of aluminum paint has almost completely washed off, but the black lettering applied over it is still intact, giving us both the car's revenue number (SFRP 2134) and maintenance of way number (ATSF 205168).

Great photo of a neat car.

Santa Fe's reefer operations and I was trying to figure out what was going on. M-O-W service explains all. Nick Tharalson, Marion, IA Date: 02/17/18 17:55 Re: RRS (6): AT&SF reefer, GW tank, Boston & Albany hop Author: retcsxcfm V,
When I first saw the car I wondered why in 1990 it still had a roof walk.Upon further reading I found out it was not in revenue service.

Saw it used when I worked there in 1973 and 74.
