The Museum has taken delivery on a wooden reefer, as seen here. Frank's detective work suggests that this is FGEX (Fruit Grower's Express) #55407, renumbered from (perhaps) 356932, built in 1924. Here is a link to pictures of an identical car which has been beautifully restored and put on display at the California State Railroad Museum. As you will note, our car badly needs paint, but it appears to be in fairly good condition for a wooden car of this vintage.
The "Silver Dome" adds a nice touch, you must admit, something the CSRM car is missing.
Remember, you read it here first!
