New Rigby Reefer Customer

2 ARMN reefers were recently spotted set at the siding located between the two warehouses on the east side of Rigby yard ! Haven't seen anything on that spur in over a decade. Clynk is on one side, northeast distribution on the other, not sure who's getting product or what it may be.

Miller beer?

Re: New Rigby Reefer Customer

Miller beer generally moves in Sou/NS insulated boxes, but anythings possible. I recall during the 90's they were getting ATSF insulated boxes in there, which I believe were canned goods from CA being stored for Hannafords. Great to see it in use once again !

If you see them again, snap a photo if possible!

Just heard that 2 more reefers have been set at that siding, maybe this will become a regular customer ! I'm not in the area lately so can't get a photo, maybe somebody else can roll by there and snap one...

Finally obtained a pic, and heard that more are showing up there steadily !

To be honest, when I first saw the title of this thread, I thought it was referring to Rep. Diane Russell.

Any further ideas on who the actual customer is?

Rigby isn't in her district. :P

Would love to know who the customer is and what the product might be, assuming possibly something for Hannafords but never know...

It is so cool that spur is being used. I use to drive by is during my time in Maine from 2000-2003. It had the appearance of being unused for a very, very long time. Let's hope the reefers keep coming!

I don't know what's in them, but they are the same type of cars coming out of CA and WA with fresh produce from those same places. They run on hot trains on both the UP and CSX.

Interesting siding layout for those 2 warehouses. 1 siding is between the buildings (as in the picture) and the other siding runs along the back of one of the buildings.
