Pacific Fruit Express, recognized by its PFE reporting mark, was founded in the early 20th century as a refrigerated car leasing company jointly owned by major western railroads including Southern Pacific and Union Pacific. Pacific Fruit Express trains for sale often feature iconic reefer cars and freight equipment used to transport produce and perishable goods across the western United States.
PFE refrigerator cars remain especially popular with collectors and model railroaders building realistic freight consists, produce trains, and western rail operations from the steam and diesel eras. These railroad models are commonly added to model trains focused on classic freight transportation and historic refrigerated rail service.
