In the 1920’s, the Pfaudler Company and General American Car
Company manufactured hundreds of wood sheathed, insulated milk
cars. Designed as bulk milk carriers, the cars were built around two 6,000
gallon glass lined tanks and a brine cooling system designed to keep
the milk at a constant 38 degrees Fahrenheit. Riding on passenger car
trucks, these unique cars were often painted Pullman green to match the
passenger cars of the era. The special purpose Pfaudler Cars hauled bulk
milk shipments well into the 1950’s.
