Looking to add a modern car that turns heads, tells a believable story, and can be heard as much as seen? The Rapido Trains Greenbrier 72' IL 7780 cu.ft. Reefer in Cryo-Trans colors (CRYX reporting mark, 2005+ orange-end scheme) is exactly that kind of standout piece. With an impressive 7,780 cu.ft. capacity and a 72' 3" interior length — a massive 82' over the drawbars — it's one of the largest reefers in service today. Since their introduction, these cars have commonly carried potatoes, frozen french fries, and other perishables from the Pacific Northwest and California to the east coast — traffic that even earned a joint Union Pacific–CSX train the nickname "The Salad Shooter."
What sets this model apart is the prototype fidelity and attention to detail Rapido is known for, here elevated by electronics. The sound-equipped version comes with speaker and sound module pre-installed from the factory: wand-activated generator-set sound effects, illuminated status lights on the reefer unit, and a Mo-Power keep-alive circuit that ensures uninterrupted effects even over dirty track. Researched from original blueprints, the car recreates the Cryo-Trans carbody with its Carrier reefer unit, end cage, fuel tank, and diamond-tread walkway, all true to the real car. A realistic, lively model that gives your modern freight trains a real presence (2005 to today).
