Inscription. This 50' mechanical refrigerator car was built in 1945 and used to haul hanging sides of meat from western markets. It is called "mechanical” because instead of ice, it used a refrigeration unit driven by a diesel motor. It houses displays of railroad tools, communication equipment and the Wheeling & Lake Erie RR. It was donated to us in 1976.
