Supplying ice for the cars in transit was a huge industry. Railroads built ice houses and platforms, like this kit, about every 250-300 miles. Here, entire trains could be serviced and on the move in minutes. This complete kit includes a detailed icehouse, based on a prototype in Antigo, Wisconsin, plus a modular icing platform, from a Pacific Fruit Express design. Add-on details include an optional platform roof, roof vents and 24 ice blocks. The plastic parts are molded in color for easy assembly and complete instructions are provided.
