Originally built at the Despatch Shops in East Rochester, New York for the Northern Refrigerator Car Line during the winter of 1957-58, these cars were acquired when Merchants Despatch Transportation (controlled by the New York Central railroad) purchased the NRC in about 1928. The NRC operated under MDT control as a separate entity until about 1962 when it was merged into the MDT.
