R-70-24 Reefers:
SPFE 459501-460100 Golden West numbers: VCY 25000=25399 (mixed with R-70-20 & -22 class cars)
These 50'-10" mechanical refrigerator cars were built by PC&F in 1971. They featured a 10'-6" plug door and 4269 ft3 capacity.
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 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-70-20 and -22 cars as VCY 25000-25399.
