Judging by the numbers sent east the PFE reefer would be on the list.
I guess it depends on the local traffic patterns but here in santa cruz.
the hoppers and gons were all SP in the 50's as most aggregate products came
from within the central part of the state and used captive cars.I can't recall
a foreign road hopper on the branch line till around 1980 when they starting

UP hoppers.....dave
