James,
Yes, reefers were iced at least into the mid 70's . I used an ice company in
Burlington, Iowa that used a truck with a scissors lift to ice carloads of
spuds. I left there in 77 so we iced cars in 76.

Subject: [BRHSlist] Icing refers in the mid-60s
Did the Burlington continue icing refers in the mid-60s?
I've seen pictures of refer cars from 1965-70 that were still in service. Did
they still use icing platforms for these.
