In the 1920's ACF built a large number of 40' wood reefers for Union Refrigerator Transit and the Chicago & North Western. They wer famous for being the "canvas" on which many of the famous "billboard reefers" were painted in the 1930's. After the heyday of the billboard era they formed the backbone of North Western Refrigerator Express's fleet as well as serving in the large numbers on the Milwaukee, Green Bay & Western, Nickel Plate, Grand Trunk Western and others. Many lasted into the 1960's making for a long service life through the most popular modeling eras!
