| This 40’ double-sheathed
wood reefer with vertical brakewheel is painted box car red with
white and PHD blue side masks. The ends are masked PHD blue. It
is lettered in white on both sides and ends with the potato logo
on the sides. BAR 6006 was built in 1926 and purchased secondhand
from Merchants Despatch Transportation (MDT). The blue and white
paint scheme is the original, in contrast to the normal white scheme
for wood reefers of that era. It was later repainted to yellow or
orange. Aroostook County potatoes for many years went to market
in wooden reefers such as this, the “Maine Potato” being a post-war
betterment. |
