These former Erie Lackawanna refrigerator cars are easy to spot since they were equipped with a Hennessey power door opener on each side. Though Erie Lackawanna originally painted these cars a light blue, Conrail eventually repainted most of them. This car got repainted a light-orange color with simple CR reporting marks instead of the full Conrail logo.
