Iced A/C passenger cars

[NW Mailing List]

Were there provisions/processes for servicing cars from other railroads that might travel N&W rails?  (I know that the Southern had some ice and brine A/C cars, for example)  I don't know how long an ice 'charge' would generally last in cars with such systems.

Thanks again,
Brent

N&W did not use the ice system for any of its own cars.

How late did N&W have ice and/or brine A/C type passenger cars in operation?  What kind/class of cars and how many?  How long did the ice supply in such cars last before needing to be refilled?  How and where were these re-icings done?

Thanks for sharing your knowledge,
Brent
