Cudahy Packing Company (est.1887) in Omaha, Nebraska, one of the largest meat packing houses in the USA, relocated it's headquarters to Chicago in 1911, and incorporated in Maine in 1915. By 1922, Cudahy listed distribution operations in 97 American cities. Cudahy introduced Old Dutch Cleanser which was acquired by PUREX in 1955 and absorbed by The Dial Corp. in 1985. After WWII, CPC headquarters were moved to Omaha, NE, and finally to Phoenix, AZ in 1956, renaming itself Cudahy Company. The Cudahy meatpacking business was acquired by Bar-S Foods Company in 1981.

By the end of the 19th Century, the industrial revolution of the USA was in full swing: textile mills, food processing, medicine, transportation, and of course, steel. But, as the country progressed into the 20th Century, what were railroads to do with the abundant railcars left over from earlier times? The invention of the one-piece, cast side-frame Bettendorf truck with its integral journal boxes was a huge step forward. Truss rods were eliminated as heavier steel under-frames came into widespread use. And, by the 1930s, hand brakes would give way to modern air-brake systems.
Full Throttle brings a nifty new car style to the Z Scale hobby. We've taken the "old-timey" woodside reefers introduced by Father Nature and performed the same refurbishing that railroads applied, to extend the usefulness of these dated cars. We've (hypothetically) upgraded the truss rod frame with a steel frame, and replaced Archbar or Andrews trucks to newer Bettendorf types. These venerable and useful cars would be employed in freight or reefer/ice operation through WWII and into the early diesel era, especially on short lines and spurs. Here's a splendid small freight car for your Z Scale action!
