Fascinating and well-written story of the railroad refrigerator car, beginning with the ventilated fruit car, the ice car, and the mechanical reefer and tracing the history of the railroad transportation of perishables up to the present mechanical trailers handled by piggyback. Includes extensive discussion of the four largest car lines, Merchants Despatch Transportation Co., Fruit Growers Express, Pacific Fruit Express (run by SP/UP/WP), and Santa Fe Refrigerator Despatch, as well as a discussion of why private fleets developed and why railroads eventually entered the field. Provides detailed coverage of unique cars such as narrow gauge reefers, beer and wine cars, specialized cars, and the actual mechanical aspects of the cars: the trucks, the roof ice bunker, how the ice was manufactured, stored and loaded, how the cars were re-iced during transit, experiments with ammonia and silica gel to replace ice, and the development of the diesel powered mechanical reefer. Reefers profoundly changed the eating habits of the nation by allowing the crops of the south and west in the US to reach northern and eastern markets and their story is told here in fascinating detail by one of the great names in railroad history. Illustrated throughout with black and white photos. With bibliography. 186 pages with index.

This booklet is the Introduction to my forthcoming book Enlightenment 101: A Guide to God-Realization and Higher Human Culture. It begins: Enlightenment. What is it? How do we get it? Why should we try? How do we know when we're enlightened? What do we do when we're enlightened? What would happen to society if a large number of people were enlightened? What if that occurred on a global scale? I'll try to answer these questions clearly and comprehensively, but nontechnically. I'll also try to answer them in a way which connects with your own life and makes enlightenment personally valuable to you. Hopefully speaking, it will become the most valuable thing in life for you—because in the big scheme of things, it truly is just that.
