Say hello to URTX 37076, locking couplers & sandwiched comfortably in between Nickel Plate Road 624 and 1062, the South Shore caboose--

Still carrying the faint logo outlines of the Milwaukee Road railroad company, 'UTRX' was an AAR identifier, simply a shorthand method of recognizing this car as belonging to lessor, the General American Transportation Corporation (GATX).

When perishables as meats, fruits and vegetables needed to be shipped via rail, across a vast distance, in the shortest amount of time as possible? Those perishables were packed into a refrigerated rail car as 37076.  

Also colloquially known as a reefer and, unlike her newer sisters that rely on diesel powered refrigeration units for keeping their cool? 37076 was one of the last of the old school reefers which used blocks of ice. Ice that was manually loaded by icing crews, through four hatch ports, located on each corner of the roof--

Awarded to the City of Hammond Indiana in 1976 for display, 37076 appears to be in reasonably fine shape. Reasonable meaning, not bad for an item that has spent all of it's life outdoors, receiving no maintenance since this reefer was retired from active duty.

Eventually the 37076 will receive a restoration, one of the objects among NWIRPS conversation is, what color scheme will be decided upon when it comes time to paint?

Yellow?

Orange?

Or perhaps decorated as suggested by this model--

Painted as a memorial tribute to the G. H. Hammond Company, founder George Hammond also served as the city's namesake.
