About the Prototype: The refrigerated boxcar has long been a vital component of rail transportation, ensuring the efficient delivery of perishable goods across vast distances. Traditionally used to transport produce, dairy products, frozen foods, and beverages, these cars have played a crucial role in maintaining the freshness of goods from coast to coast. Over time, advancements in refrigeration technology and railcar design have led to the development of more efficient and high-capacity refrigerated boxcars. One of the most notable modern designs is Trinity Rail’s 64-foot refrigerated boxcar, introduced in late 2003 as a replacement for aging reefer fleets. These excess-height, Plate F boxcars are large enough to accommodate the equivalent of four 53-foot trailers, significantly improving transportation efficiency. Equipped with state-of-the-art refrigeration systems, they ensure a consistent temperature for transporting produce, orange juice, frozen goods, and other perishable items
