Perhaps my favorite car in the train was this bright blue Needham Packing Co ice reefer. Needham Packing was HQ'ed in Sioux City IA and shipped its meat to 30 states across the US. Perhaps this car was received from Milwaukee Road via pool train M-98 to Marion, OH? Alas, Needham Packing was acquired by another company, Flavorland Industries, and I have no idea where this attractive car ended up.
