Pacific Fruit Express Freightliner Truck Tractor Fleet - By Kevin Shanahan


Pacific Motor Transport (PMT) was the trucking arm of Southern Pacific Railroad and in many cases the PMT tractors were used to move Pacific Fruit Express refrigerated trailers at piggyback break points along the railroad. These models from Kevin Shanahan feature kitbashed Athearn Freightliner tractors; some were made into short wheelbase, day cab configurations and others into longer wheelbase sleeper and non-sleeper configurations. The wheels and tires are from A-Line; the PFE trailers were built from Athearn kits. Part of this fleet was previously featured in Photo Gallery 510.
