Looks like the platforms would typically be a little higher than the running boards on the reefers, so gravity would help with the loading. Must have been quite a job!

It shows how dreadfully short the icing platforms usually are on layouts compared to the 1500 feet+ long real platforms. I chose 6 feet because I figure I can spare that length someplace. The good thing is they are not deep. Between PRS and SHS I probably have 40-50 reefers so I had to represent somehow.
