Description:
San Marino, CA: Golden West Books, 1986. First edition, first printing . Hardcover. The railroad refrigerator car formed a link between the farm and the market place. Some of the nation's best croplands were located in the west and south, far removed from the mass of consumers who were located along the northeast coast. The railroad refrigerator car began life as an insulated and ventilated boxcar. Because it was felt metal absorbed heat, it was one of the last types of freight rolling stock to receive steel body constuction. 186 pages with photographs, car lingo, bibliography, index and a wealth of car diagrams. Small name stamp on the front endpaper. Fine in fine and bright dust jacket. Appears as new.
