R-70-20 Reefers

A roster of the R-70-20 class reefers is provided as follows:


	PFE 456901-457400    1969	(later transferred to SPFE)
	PFE 457401-457500    1969   	(later transferred to SPFE)
	PFE 457501-457600    1969   	(later transferred to UPFE)
	PFE 457601-458100    1969	(later transferred to UPFE)

	PFE 458701-459300    1970	(later transferred to SPFE)

	Golden West numbers:		VCY 25000=25399 (mixed with R-70-22 & -24 class cars)

These 50'-10" mechanical refrigerator cars were built by PC&F in 1969-70 and featured 4269 ft3 capacity and a 10'-6" door opening. Note that this body style is sometimes referred to as 57', however, the mechanical refrigeration eqipment takes up space on one end of the car thus leaving a nominal 50' usable inside length for loading. Harry Wong has a good writeup regarding the release of an Intermountain model of this class.

When rebuilt, repainted and remarked as Golden West Service cars, they were mixed with PFE/SPFE class R-70-22 and -24 cars as VCY 25000-25399.
