Lionel Northern-Western Fruit Express Refrigerator Car #6-27330 Mechanical Refrigerator CarsBy the 1960’s, railroads’ aging ice reefers were being rapidly replaced by vast fleets of efficient Mechanical Refrigerator Cars. As manufacturers like Pacific Car & Foundry and Western Fruit Express developed more efficient ways to keep perishables fridge-fresh when transported by rail, these modern, diesel-powered cars became a common and colorful site on America’s rails. Lionel is proud to include these Mechanical Refrigerator Cars with its growing fleet of realistic Standard O freight cars. Based on actual drawings from the mid-1960’s, these cars are designed with brake equipment positioned low on the ends, short ladders, and no running board on the modern roof.
