Boxcar - Reefer - Insulated

 

PRR #19235


 

40' Plug Door Box Car.  Plug-Door boxcars are usually insulated and typically carry products such as canned goods that require protection from extremes of temperature but do not require refrigeration.  Plug-style doors were normally used to ensure a tight seal in the insulation.  Designed for transport of both perishables and large loads, plug doors allowed box cars to be sealed from outside dust and dirt.  Cars like these were manufactured during the 50s and 60s.
