The Santa Fe made quite a few efforts to increase the back haul business
for refrigerator cars returning empty from the east. I have records of
some testimony of how they tried to organize LCL (Less Than Car Load
traffic) to utilize empty reefers heading west bound if anyone is
interested?

Subject: [citrusmodeling] Alternative Refrigerator Car Uses
I am aware that ice-cooled regrigerator cars were used to transport
magazines on their backhuals from the East. I also have a photo of
a refrigerator car being loaded with mail sacks.
Is anyone aware of other alternative uses for these cars?
