CONVERT REEFERS FOR FASTER LOADING/UNLOADING

Western Fruit Express Company rebuilt 152 mechanically refrigerated cars for faster loading and unloading of bulk potatoes. Conveyors are built into the floor of the cars. The floor can be sloped into the center to provide gravity feed to the conveyors. When not used for bulk potatoes the floor can be changed to a flat position for loading bagged or boxed perishables.
