One day during the 180 day train-off period for the Three Rivers, the Capitol Ltd was hours late. They put people on #41, and used one of those reefers as a baggage car. I suppose they shut the compressor off.

"Had," not owned.  They were leased and when Amtrak's refrigerated express service shut down, were returned to the lessor.
