Refrigerated rail transportation revolutionized the produce industry in North America, allowing fresh commodities from the west to be sold for the first time in the east, and vice-versa. To expedite the delivery of these time-sensitive goods, railroads attached Express Reefers to their priority passenger trains, adding one or more of these specially built cars ahead of the baggage and passenger cars.
