A former Pacific Fruit Express refrigerator car on display in Sebastopol, CaliforniaPacific Fruit Express(reporting markPFE) was an Americanrailroadrefrigerator carleasing company that at one point was the largest refrigerator car operator in the world.
History[edit]The company was founded on December 7, 1906, as a joint venture between theUnion PacificandSouthern Pacificrailroads. It began operation on October 1, 1907, with a fleet of 6,600 refrigerator cars built by theAmerican Car and Foundry Company(ACF).[1] In 1923, theWestern Pacific Railroadjoined the venture by leasing its own new fleet of 2775 reefers to PFE. They were painted in standard PFE colors with only WP heralds on the cars instead of the paired UP-SP markings. The WP cars were all retired by the late 1950s, among the last wooden reefers in PFE\'s fleet. WP ended its partnership with PFE in late 1967 and joinedFruit Growers Expressinstead. PFE\'s assets were divided between the UP and SP when the company was split on April 1, 1978. It is now a UP subsidiary.[2] Pacific Fruit Express Roster, 6,600 8,100 16,000 40,509 36,899 38,840 28,818 17,648 Source:The Great Yellow Fleet, p.17.
