This 40’ double-sheathed wood reefer
with vertical brakewheel is painted box car red with white

is lettered in white on both sides and ends with the potato

the normal white scheme for wood reefers of that era. It was
later repainted to yellow or orange. Aroostook County potatoes
for many years went to market in wooden reefers such as this,
the “Maine Potato” being a post-war betterment. |

Youngstown doors is painted box car red with white lettering
and the white-on-black round Southern Pacific herald. It was
built in August 1955 at Southern Pacific’s Sacramento
shop. It runs on brown Bettendorf trucks. SP 211206 is one
of a 350-car series built to meet the growing demand for
the
larger doors, permitting the use of forklifts and larger
loading devices. The 1955-era round herald was dropped a
few years
later during repaints and as new cars were manufactured.

US Office of Defense Transportation
Road Number K-125
This 50’ standard steel box car Troop Kitchen Car is
painted Pullman green with black roof and lettered in Dulux
imitation gold. It was built in 1943 by American Car &
Foundry and runs on high-speed Allied Full Cushion trucks.
In late 1941 the Defense Plant Corporation contracted with
ACF to build 800 troop kitchen cars (in two lots of 400) in
response to an increased demand to feed thousands of traveling
troops. These cars operated in the middle of the troop train
so food could be served from both ends. The cars were Spartan
but the service was first class. After the war, cars were
sold at bargain basement prices to railroads for conversion
into boxcars or express cars with eight-foot doors.

in 1987. It runs on black roller bearing trucks. The International
Bridge & Terminal Company of International Falls, Minnesota,
which had been incorporated in 1902, acquired a nearby railroad
with the intention of pushing it west across Minnesota and
North Dakota and into Montana. The company took a new name
to reflect those intentions, Minnesota, Dakota and Western
Railway. By the late 1920s, it had given up its aspirations
and settled down to the job of carrying raw materials and
finished products for its owner, Minnesota & Ontario Paper
Co. The road was acquired by Boise Cascade Corporation in
1965.
