My question still stands…..

…..when I was working on the Broadway Limited GACX Express Reefer project, I noticed that many roads had Express Reefers…..either apparently leased from General American of a common design (SOO, MP, CRI&P), or of their own design and ownership (like the PRR, NP, GN).

Looking at pictures of Q passenger trains you see NP and GN cars on the line to the Twin Cities and a few REA cars on the headend on other trains.   Why did the Q not have express reefers like other roads, either leased or owned?

They traversed similar territories as roads that did have them (CRI&P, MILW).

BREX may be a complicating factor, but then they didn’t have many either (the steel jobs that had the “cream” compartment or not).

I know that some secondary trains (like the Coloradoan) had REA express reefers in the consist….were they more common than I think?
