Does an automobile car count as a boxcar?
If ... not..Can you see the 40' Erie boxcar in front?

First, a question for Mister Nutbar - the PFE was a joint venture of the SP and UP - way back in the 1930s era?

And an FCRD boxcar, #349, Houston, BNSF Mykawa Yard, circa 2009 - I really like this one, and will model it some day.

Winslow, NJ October 1994

Hello Gary---I checked Google regarding the origins of the Pacific Fruit Express---here's what I found:This is a quote from Wikipedia:

"Pacific Fruit Express (reporting mark PFE) was a railroad refrigerator car leasing company that at one point was the largest refrigerator car operator in the world. The company was founded on December 7, 1906 as a joint venture between the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific railroads. It began operation on October 1, 1907, with a fleet of 6,600 refrigerator cars built by the American Car and Foundry Company (ACF).

In 1923, the Western Pacific Railroad joined the venture by leasing its own, brand new fleet of 2775 reefers to PFE. They were painted in standard PFE colors with only WP heralds on the cars instead of the paired UP-SP markings. The WP cars were all retired by the late 1950s, among the last wooden reefers in PFE's fleet. WP ended its partnership with PFE in late 1967 and joined Fruit Growers Express instead.

PFE's assets were divided between the UP and SP when the company was split on April 1, 1978. It is now a UP subsidiary.[1]"
