I love seeing the long block of PFE reefers. Do you know what they are carrying?

My guess would be potatoes. The EIRR serves quite a few places in the Rupert/Hayes/Twin Falls areas of Idaho that ship potatoes. Ben

If memory serves me correctly, the raw potatoes would be trucked in to the spud factories (like Lamb-Weston) for processing into french fries, tater tots, and such, and finished products were flash frozen, and shipped out in these reefers.
