Was the "special" known for moving perishables? I notice the vans appear to be reefer units.

It was. They are. Dedicated climate-controlled TOFC moving Florida fresh fruit and vegetables to the Northeast, the service was initiated by Seaboard in 1982. I believe it originally terminated in Delaware, but was later extended to Kearny, NJ.

Thanks for the info, Mr. Grumbine. Probably good revenue, does CSX continue?

An identical Seaboard System trailer was parked behind a local Target store where I live for years. It's neat to see some back in their heyday.
