Burlington Refrigerator Express Cars:
The Burlington Road (CB&Q, C&S and later BN) had a subsidiary company, Burlington Refrigerator Express, for providing refrigerator cars. I don't know the details on the business side as to why they did this, but I will be covering the different groups of cars under the various reporting marks here. I know of several marks that have been used such as: BRCX, BREX, BRMX and RBBX. Most of these cars appears to be either ice bunker or mechanical refrigerator cars. Insulated box cars seemed to have been distinguished with RBBQ marks for CB&Q and RBCS marks for C&S. Later cars wore RBBN marks for BN. These cars are covered in the box car pages of those individual roads.
