North Western Refrigerator Line

The NWX was closely allied with the Chicago and North Western Railway as several officials also held positions at the C&NW.

During the 1950s the fleet was rebuilt at North American's Green Bay, Hudson, and Baraboo facilities.

North American closed the Baraboo shops in December 1963 as new mechanical reefers were being purchased, and refurbishment of wood cars was no longer required.

Preserved NWX reefers #19769, #19781, and #19786 are on display at the Mid-Continent Railway Museum in North Freedom, Wisconsin.
