Armour Meat Reefer PCX 4417 A post by Clark Propst on the Groups.io Real Steam Era Freight Car Discussion group. Bill Hirt commented: The PCX cars were built/paid for by the CB&Q in a roundabout way so that the actual corporate ownership of the cars was hidden. The CB&Q did not want other meat packing companies to start asking for new cars to replace their aging fleets. That is why the PCX were built like earlier steel Armour cars. Armour had meat packing plants at key CB&Q points (Kansas City, Omaha, St. Joseph and St. Paul), so they generated regular traffic for the CB&Q. As part of the FGE family, Burlington Refrigerator Express offered cars lettered MNX for meat traffic. Bob Chaparro Moderator Railway Bull Shippers Group https://groups.io/g/RailwayBullShippersGroup
