## Description

UNON PACIFIC FRUIT EXPRESS PROTOTYPE HISTORY: Pacific Car and Foundry responded to the railroad&#x2019;s migration from ice stored in bunkers as a primary cooling system to the diesel mechanical systems. The mechanical reefers could keep a more regular temperature, often times colder then what the ice bunker cars could at the time. Initially mechanical reefers were used primarily in frozen food service. This would soon change as mechanical refrigeration began to replace ice-based systems. Soon after, mechanical refrigeration units replaced the &#x201C;armies&quot; of personnel required to re-ice the cars. Several different deliveries of the PC&F 57&#x2019; mechanical to many different railroads in the mid to late 1960s. Many have been rebuilt and are still in service today. Bangor and Aroostook often leased it&#x2019;s reefer fleet to Pacific Fruit Express in the off season for the railroad. This turned out to be a peak season for PFE in California.
