What is a "refrigerated boxcar"?
A refrigerated boxcar, also known as a reefer car, is a type of freight car that is used to transport perishable goods that need to be kept cold, such as food, medicines, or certain chemicals. It is an enclosed car equipped with a refrigeration unit that maintains a low temperature inside to prevent spoilage or damage to the cargo. Refrigerated boxcars are commonly used for long-distance shipping of temperature-sensitive products, ensuring they stay fresh and safe during transit. These cars are essential in the supply chain for industries that rely on cold storage for transportation.
