<div>If N&W had reefers they must have been very early, before World War II. They would have hauled express reefers from REA and other railroads in their passenger trains. N&W did eventually get some insulated boxcars and mechanical reefers, but I'm pretty
sure that was after the 1964 merger, and may have even been an extension of Wabash service. I think NKP hauled a lot of meat reefers out of Chicago, but I don't know if that service was still in place at the time of the merger.

<div>Milk and dairy didn't necessarily travel in reefers. That's why speed was so important in transporting them. The milk cans may have been placed in a chest filled with ice, but otherwise were often loaded on baggage cars as another piece of express in
a passenger train.</div>

<div>I believe most milk cans were transported in baggage and express cars. From what I've read about the dairy industry, I don't think it was so much that the railroads stopped accepting them but the dairy traffic simply moved to trucks for cost and effeciancy
reasons.
