Boston & Maine Railroad Refrigerator 36ft Wooden Reefer Decal 2002 These cars were build by the Laconia Car Shops in 1907 and 1908. They were delived with fox trucks. These cars were fitted with large capacity ice chambers so they were not fitted with ice hatches. Their shippments consisted of dairy products and fresh fruits and vegitables. The cars were hauled with local and express freight trains. The cars were not used in passenger service unless the cars were refitted with passenger trucks. In 1935 fox trucks were no longer permitted ininterchange service so the cars were taken out of service and used as ice stage cars at many of the terminals. By the late 1940's and early 1950's any cars that remained had been scrapped at the Billerica Shops. These decals were created using the 1900 / 1907 Boston & Maine Freight Car Lettering book. When available, photographs were also referenced. There are usually several car numbers available. If you order multiple sets of decals of the same car I will do my best to make sure you do not get duplicate road numbers. Extra number sets are included so that you may create your own road numbers. Each set of decals will complete one car and includes a decal placement diagram.
