John-

Even if the Q made the determination that it wasn’t going to own or rent Express Reefers (BREX handling the “normal” freight reefer business) it still seems odd that they would not have the traffic (fruit, fish, ???) in REA-owned cars that the MILW and ATSF to name two similar roads had to the point that they felt they needed their own cars for.

The Q was not in the refrigerator car business, period. They did not deem it profitable to lease cars to the REA. Dollars and cents made the difference. The rate of return on investment of leased express reefers was poor. Remember the Q was a very WELL managed company.
