New Haven Express Reefer

  by David Hutchinson
 
I was looking through the current Classic Trains and noticed a shot of a PRR GG! pulling a passenger train near North Bergen, NJ. The first car was a Seaboard baggage car and then a very dirty NH black express reefer. It appears to have the block, stacked NH in white. Any info on this car out there?

NH had a bunch of WW2 troop sleepers converted to express cars (not reefers). These were 50-ft cars with the side windows plated over and 8-ft baggage doors cut into the middle of the car. They lasted as mail storage & Railway Express cars until PC took over (1969). RMNE has two of them, one is in the black with orange & white "NH".
