R-70-23 Reefers:
PFE 459401-459500 (to UPFE 459401-459500)
These 70-ton, 50'-0" mechanical refrigerator cars were built by PC&F in 1970. They featured 4050 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 leaving a 50' usable inside length for loading.
Harry Wong has a good writeup regarding the release of an Intermountain model of this class.
