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.
