By the turn of the 20th century, manufactured ice became more \ncommon. The Pacific Fruit Express (PFE), for example, maintained seven natural \nharvesting facilities, and operated 18 artificial ice plants. At the industry’s \npeak, 1,200,000 tons of ice was produced for refrigerator car use annually.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(250, 250, 250); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;\"\u003e\nA late-19th century wood-bodied reefer required re-icing every 250 miles (400 \nkm) to 400 miles (640 km). The typical ice-bunker reefer from the 1920s were \noriginally constructed with wood sheathing. Later, these early wood constructed \ncars would be replaced with steel constructed cars with plywood interiors by the \n1940s. Vents in the bunker at the end of the car, along with slots in the wood \nfloor racks, allowed cool air to circulate around the contents. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"prodHdr_specs\" class=\"secTog shadow\" style=\"font-size: 1.15em; padding: 0px; margin: 5px 0px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(250, 250, 250); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"text\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"secTog\" style=\"color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(250, 250, 250); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctable border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"99%\" class=\"specs\" style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(214, 214, 214);\"\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd class=\"specName\" style=\"font-weight: bold; border-left: 1px solid rgb(214, 214, 214); border-right: 0px none; border-top: 1px solid rgb(214, 214, 214); padding: 4px; background: rgb(234, 234, 233)\"\u003e\n      \u003cspan class=\"sttl\"\u003eCOUPLER STYLE:\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd class=\"specVal\" style=\"border-right: 1px solid rgb(214, 214, 214); border-top: 1px solid rgb(214, 214, 214); padding: 4px; background: rgb(234, 234, 233)\"\u003e\n      McHenry Scale Knuckle\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd class=\"specName\" style=\"font-weight: bold; padding: 4px; border-top: 1px solid rgb(214, 214, 214);\"\u003e\n      \u003cspan class=\"sttl\"\u003eMinimum Age Recommendation:\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd class=\"specVal\" style=\"padding: 4px; border-top: 1px solid rgb(214, 214, 214);\"\u003e\n      14 years\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd class=\"specName\" style=\"font-weight: bold; border-left: 1px solid rgb(214, 214, 214); border-right: 0px none; border-top: 1px solid rgb(214, 214, 214); padding: 4px; background: rgb(234, 234, 233)\"\u003e\n      \u003cspan class=\"sttl\"\u003eIs Assembly Required:\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd class=\"specVal\" style=\"border-right: 1px solid rgb(214, 214, 214); border-top: 1px solid rgb(214, 214, 214); padding: 4px; background: rgb(234, 234, 233)\"\u003e\n      No\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Athearn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39382264971327,"sku":"RND98496","price":26.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0269\/7461\/7663\/products\/RND98496-450.jpg?v=1625070980","url":"https:\/\/factorydirecthobbies.com\/products\/preorder-athearn-ho-40-wood-reefer-eksk-3721","provider":"Factory Direct Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
