Iced Reefer No. 57708
Blocks of ice were loaded through roof top hatches kept contents cool. As the ice melted the water drained through chutes in each corner. Insulated walls, one foot thick, helped keep in the cold. This car is also equipped with a Preco circulating system, which cycled cool air from the floor of the car back towards the ceiling.
