| Description: |
Western Fruit Express was a railroad refrigerator car leasing company formed by the Fruit Growers Express and the Great Northern Railway on July 18, 1923 in order to compete with the Pacific Fruit Express and Santa Fe Refrigerator Despatch in the Western United States. It is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Corporation (BNSF), the Great Northern's successor. -From Wikipedia. This railcar was built in February 1963 and is now retired, which is why the numbers on it are blacked out. It was used for storage at the Buncher Railcar Services facility in Youngwood, Pa. It has been scrapped and is now gone. |
