Brian,Neither, it was the business behind the scenes that caused their demise. There is a book out there that tells all about it. Unfortunately I  can't get to my books to tell you any more.Jimmy LisleSent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone

                HelloI am rereading the email string from November 2017 about refrigerator cars in Northfork. I am considering reworking my model railroad to include this. Can anyone tell us the cars that would be prototypical and approximate years?  Would the billboard reefers for Swift and Hormel be appropriate?  My layout uses Y3s and Ms for motive power and I am backdating my car fleet to those appropriate from 1917 to the early forties. Thanks in advance.
