TrinityRail® 64' Modern Reefer:

• Introduction: Built starting in late 2003, the TrinityRail® 64' Modern Reefer was designed to replace aging reefers. These cars are large enough to fit the equivalent of four 53' truck trailer contents, making them highly efficient for transporting perishable goods.

• Refrigeration: In recent years, these cars received new Carrier reefer units for better efficiency. The modern refrigeration technology ensures that perishable goods are transported at optimal temperatures, maintaining their freshness over long distances.

• Design and Features:

  • Body: The car features a detailed injection-molded body with applied etched-metal or plastic details.

  • Paint and Lettering: Accurate paint and crisp lettering ensure that the cars are visually appealing and true to their prototypes.

  • Details: Roadname-appropriate body detailing adds to the authenticity of the model.

  • Couplers: Equipped with AccuMate® knuckle couplers, these cars ensure reliable and smooth operation on model railroads.

• Impact on Rail Transport: These excess-height refrigerated boxcars have revitalized the once flourishing refrigerated movement of perishable goods. They are a modern take on the traditional reefers, providing a reliable and efficient solution for transporting perishable items across the country2.
