HO Greenbrier 7780 cuft Reefer, Ontario Northland #253

The Greenbrier 72’ IL 7780 Reefer is a large box reefer car that has an impressive capacity of 7780 cu.ft., with a 72’ 3” interior length. This makes it a whopping 82’ over the drawbars. The storage capacity is massive and shippers take full advantage of this feature, shipping items such as: light or bulky frozen and perishable items. This is also the ONLY larger 82’ 6” reefer Union Pacific/ARMN owns in their fleet.  Since their introduction, the cars have commonly taken loads of potatoes and french fries and perishables from the
Pacific Northwest and California to points east. For a time, Union Pacific and CSX ran a joint train nicknamed “The Salad Shooter” for those purposes.
