In the 1920's, the Pfaudler Company and General
American Car Company manufactured hundreds of wood
sheathed, insulated milk cars. Designed as bulk milk carriers,
the cars were built around two 6,000 gallon glass lined tanks
and a brine cooling system designed to keep the milk at a
constant 38 degrees Fahrenheit. Riding on passenger car
trucks, these unique cars were often painted Pullman green
to match the passenger cars of the era. The special purpose
Pfaudler Cars hauled bulk milk shipments well into the 1950's. |
