I was in Portland last week. The cars are currently being delivered. There were several visible at the Gunderson facility along Front Avenue, next to the BNSF Lake Yard.

That would be good news.
However, the picture shown with that article is of CRYX 5700, a mechanical reefer. It would be nice to have a number off the new production (which should be in use soon, if not now, according to the release) so we can check it out.
Judging from recent deliveries of all types of refrigerator and box cars, the new cars will be RBs, not RBLs.
According to BNSF, they are CRYX 6000-6049.
Yup! RB! There you go!
