i actually read that there is a new port being built on the west coast of florida that will be carrying fruit from south America up to philly and Indiana,,,, they are already in talks on having several hundreds reefers built for this new project.... I read it in trains magazine issue maybe about 6 months ago. reefers are actually a growing trend... also the majority correct me if im wrong of the baby ridged reefers are refurbished and painted over upfe's, they have been around many years so I could see why they are up for reitirement, plus they are much smaller then the new ones, so im sure its cost effective to just do away with the smaller ones,,,
