Wilson Refrigerator Car 2571 |

Donated from an Ogden junk-yard |
| Image Captions |
This car was leased to Wilson Car Lines by Chase Manhattan bank. Wilson Car Lines was a subsidiary of Wilson & Company Meat Packing Company, which was reorganized from the failed Saltzberger & Sons packing company in 1917 and named after Thomas E. Wilson, who managed the reorganization. Wilson & Co. became one of the 50 largest corporations in the country and rivaled Swift and Armour in both income and size of car fleets. There are two cars (nos. 2571 and 2572) that were discovered in a junkyard on 24th street in Ogden, Utah and donated to the museum. They are ice cooled, with both ends occupied with large bunkers into which blocks of ice would be fed through the hatches on the roof. One car is kept on display at the museum, the other is at a storage facility west of Ogden |
