Freight car questions

I remember seeing some CORP 226000 (ex-SP 226000) boxcars a few years ago. They are not listed in the April 2007 ORER. It also seems like CORP bought some ex-SP woodchip gondolas. These are not listed either. Does anyone know what happened to these?

Also, in summer 2003 I saw several SLC reefers out here. I never saw them before then nor since then. Where do these cars normally run. I am assume from the San Luis Valley of Colorado to places east.

Finally, Rail Logistics operates 77 (according to the April 2007 ORER) or 75 (according to Rail Logistics) RPLs, I suspect they are ex-SPFE. I have only seen photographs of them. Does anyone know where they normally operate?

The SLC Reefers could be seen everywhere the UP Reefers have been moved.

The SLC Reefers have rolled through Michigan during the past 10 years.

The fate of all the old Mechanical Refrigerator Cars is something to investigate.

No, they have only been out here in 2003.

The SLC and NRDX (Rail Logistics) reefers are still in the current ORER.
