These 40’ wood sheathed reefer cars with flush doors and vertical brakewheels are painted box car red with reefer yellow sides. They bear the black, red and white logos and are lettered in black on the sides and white on the ends. They were built in 1945, serviced in May 1963, and run on Bettendorf trucks. World War II steel shortages forced the use of wood sides on otherwise all-steel cars. These Burlington Refrigerator Express cars are stenciled in the post-1958 block gothic lettering.

The H. J. Heinz Company, more commonly known as simply HEINZ, is an American food processing company that was founded by Henry John Heinz in 1869. With humble beginnings, Henry and friend Clarence Noble, began manufacturing horseradish in his father’s basement. The company would later expand to include tomato ketchup in 1875 and eventually over 60 food products by the mid-1890’s. HEINZ introduced its “57 Varieties” slogan in 1896 which was included on many of their very colorful billboard reefer cars. By 1919 the company had grown to over 6,000 employees and 25 factories and relied heavily on their fleet of over 700 railroad cars to transport their food products across the country.
