Swift & Company amassed close to 3,800 wood ice reefers by the time 1948 rolled around. Under their own reporting mark of SRLX, various paint schemes appeared on the wood reefers depending on the time period. This yellow scheme is more representative of a 1948-50's era, and would have been a precursor scheme to the solid red with white "Swift" logo scheme.

Swiftly, bring the reefer!
Sorry, couldn't resist.

But seriously, this is a great looking repaint. And thank you, too, for the added historical context! Always great to learn something new about my favorite era in railroading.

Cheers,
Michael

Just PM'd you the link. Meant to do it after the post, but got pulled in another direction. That darn life thing.

Thank you Michael. I've got one more wood sided reefer in a 30's scheme, then it's off to the steel reefers.
