Express, the Santa Fe Fruit Refrigerator
Line, the California Fruit Transportation
Company and the Goodell California Fruit
Line.
Shipments in refrigerators will not be
handled by passenger trains, because under
the regulations governing the movements
of fruit on passenger trains it is required
that the cars shall be equipped for passen-
ger service; that is. shall have passenger
couplers, air signals, and generally con-
form to the Master Carbuilder's rules for
passenger trains, and refrigerator cars are
not so supplied.
Ventilated fruit cars furnished by the

such cars are equipped for passenger serv-
ice, and such cars can be furnished as q
rule on the requistion of shippers.
