(erielack) DLW Insulated Trailers

This is a Willis McCaleb photo being offered on Ebay of three NKP 
trailers in 3-59 at Fruehauf in Avon Lake OH.  The interesting bonus for 
us are the three orange trailers in the background.  These are rare 
shots of the second series of fifty insulated trailers (31-80) bought by 
the DL&W that same year.

We're all familiar with the early orange insulateds (1-30), a few of 
which lasted right up to CR as storage trailers.  This second group were 
35' and used as trade-ins by EL in 11-65.  I've always wondered why 
there hasn't been any photos of these insulateds that have turned up. 
One reason, perhaps these trailers had only the DLW numbers on the front 
and back and no identification on the sides as in this photo of freshly 
painted trailers. So they were easy to miss and of course didn't last 
too long on the EL.

Has anyone seen other photos of trailers from this series?
