Swift Refrigerator Line

Roadnumber 18792

These 40’ wood reefers are brown with yellow sides and run on Bettendorf trucks. Built in July 1931,
this wood-sheathed ice reefer was used well into the 1950s. Gustavus P. Swift was an influential figure
in the development of the refrigerator car for shipping dressed meat. Before the mechanical reefer, wood
construction was preferred over steel because wood was a better natural insulator and would not rust
from melting ice.
