Cudahy Packing Company in 1920 had over 2,000 leased 37’ and 40‘ wood refrigerator cars - either from Mather or General American Car Co. Leased cars used
the CRLX reporting marks (see Protocraft Decals CRLX-1). Cars owned by Cudahy carried the NMCX reporting marks. By 1940, the total number was down to
around 1,000 cars, and in 1942 the lease was cancelled. By the mid-1960’s the cars dissapeared from the roster.
