Lionel 2642342 - Minneapolis & St Louis Woodside Reefer #4816

Composite construction reefers were frequently given new sides and woodsided cars such as these were common long after all-steel versions of other types of rolling stock became the standard. Included in this release are the rare "curved corner" Pacific Fruit Express cars from the 1930s. Only 22 are known to have been so painted and only 14760 received the script lettering. Other paint schemes were far more common with many lasting from the transition era well into the 1960s or later.
