Abstract: Baffles are provided in insulated box cars, bulk refrigerator cars and/or in convertible hopper-box cars to allow bulk shipment of perishable lading, which is not capable of supporting more than several feet without the upper lading portion damaging the lower lading portion due to the weight of the upper portion. For example, citrus fruits may thus be transported in such baffled railway cars.

Abstract: A lightweight structural hopper car unit is provided utilizing a through sill, a bolster cover plate and side sills. Approximately 70% of the longitudinal squeeze loads are carried by the through sill and about 15% by each of the side sills. Thus the thickness of the sides and side sills can be reduced, and diagonal stiffeners utilized in the end structure of prior constructions can be eliminated.

Abstract: Thermostatically controlled apparatus for heating or cooling air circulated through a closed railway car is modified so that in a temperature zone near the thermostat setting, where in prior systems the heating or cooling would be stopped, the circulated air is cooled and heated simultaneously to reduce humidity or remove moisture from the air. The railway car normally transports fresh fruit or vegetables and the moisture content of the fresh produce may be maintained within a specific range as the air being reintroduced within the car has a moisture content.
