In 2001, BNSF Railway turned to Trinity Railcar for a modern reefer car. Trinity built 810 reefers in the first group and another in 2003 with both groups measuring 82’ long and 17’ tall. Another 250 were built for JR Simplot with JRSX reporting marks. These modern reefers handle commodities like meat, vegetables, fruits, and frozen food. In addition to these specific usages, these unique reefers can be found in almost any BNSF manifest train as well as on any of the major railroads in the United States.

The new ScaleTrains™ N Scale Rivet Counter™ Trinity 82’ Reefer model captures the railroad, road number, and era-specific™ features of the prototype – such as smooth roofline, refrigeration unit variations, intricate underbody detail, and much more. We’re also offering sound-equipped versions that are track powered.
