Gary, nice modeling of the SLC reefers and the plant in Texas.
As info. those SLC reefers may be a thing of the past as the railroad is scrapping all but a few of the cars since
they are either past or reaching their 40 year life limit. I know the president of the railroad, have worked for him
several times in my railroad career and my family and I have visited/rode the SLC so it will hard to see the reefers go.
The plant in Texas was the last to receive shipments in them when trucks were not available.
Those reefer units on the top of the building look great along with the building itself. Another source of large cooling
models like those are from Chooch as a flat car load.
Always enjoy your modeling.
