Prototype Overview:
The Greenbrier 72’ IL 7780 Reefer is a large box reefer car that has an impressive capacity of 7780 cu.ft., with a 72’ 3” interior length. This makes it a whopping 82’ over the drawbars. The storage capacity is massive and shippers take full advantage of this feature, shipping items such as: light or bulky frozen and perishable items. This is also the ONLY larger 82’ 6” reefer Union Pacific/ARMN owns in their fleet.

S
ince their introduction, the cars have commonly taken loads of potatoes and french fries and perishables from the Pacific Northwest and California to points east. For a time, Union Pacific and CSX ran a joint train nicknamed “The Salad Shooter” for those purposes.
