Rapido Trains Inc N 561008A Santa Fe Class RR-60 Mechanical Reefer 'Santa Fe All The Way' Slogan SFRD Single Car

Rapido is pleased to offer the Santa Fe Class RR-56/60/61 Mechanical Reefer in N Scale.

In 1955 The Santa Fe Railroad introduced the RR-56 class of Refrigerated boxcars. Based on the previous RR-54 class of Boxcars, the RR-56 class incorporated lessons learned from the older series of cars to build & operate its 1st large fleet of Mechanical Reefers.

The RR-56 were classed as “All Purpose” MTC (Mechanical Temperature Control) cars by the Santa Fe Railroad. The fleet numbered 200 cars numbers 2000 – 2188, 2500 – 2510 in the series. Delivered with SFRD reporting marks, these were changed in 1963 to SFRP but retained their original car numbers.

In 1958, Santa Fe built the RR-60 & RR-61 class of Reefers. These were additional cars built to the same external standards as the RR-56 class but carried different insulation & so were identified as Super Insulated "All Purpose" Mechanical Temperature Controlled cars.
