Pacific Western Rail Systems is pleased to announce another PWRS Exclusive Micro-Trains product, a Canadian Pacific 40 ft Heavyweight Passenger Express Reefer 4-Pack.

These cars are painted in the standard Canadian Pacific Railway passenger colors of maroon sides, black ends, side sills, ladders, roof and underframe and Dulux Imitation Gold lettering.

The Canadian Pacific Railway had three series of wooden express reefers built with a Steel Under Frame (S.U.F.) between 1917 and 1929. They were 45'-0" over the strikers, and were used to transport high class merchandise in passenger trains.

• Series 1 - (5500-5599) Built 1917-18: side and end boards reach all the way down to the bottom, hiding the steel sill; trucks that are unique to this series; inside brakes; wooden roofs.
• Series 2a - (5600-5649) Built 1922: this series and the later ones had the side sill on the bottom exposed (visible); trucks have bolted on pedestals; inside brakes.
• Series 2b - (5650-5699) Built 1926: identical to series 2a except the trucks have cast side frames.
• Series 3 - (5700-5749) Built 1929: feature shorter bolster to bolster distance and trucks with outside brakes.
  
• Series 1 and 2 had Gothic lettering when delivered. Series 3 came with Roman lettering in gold. All had a beaver crest on the left side. The beaver crests were discontinued in the early 1930's and Series 1 was rebuilt with steel roofs. Wooden roof hatches were replaced with steel ones beginning in the 1930's. Later, from 1944 on, the roof platforms were removed, new hatches installed, one more grab iron added on the left side and a step was added under the doors. From 1947 on the lettering was changed to yellow. They remained in passenger service until the mid 1960's. Some were renumbered to freight service and saw service until the late 1970's.

 Features:

• Limited one time production run of these 4 road numbers
• Micro-Trains trucks and couplers
• Accurate painting and printing with correct road numbers for each paint scheme

These Express Reefers will be the perfect complement to run with our previously released CPR Express Boxcars and your other Micro-Trains Canadian Pacific Railway passenger cars.
