Does anyone know of a listing ( pictures would be even better) of all the cars ( reefers, vat cars, etc.) made and used by the H.J. Heinz company? Thanks in advance-turtle7 ( P Hering Lombard, IL)

Careful guys....no copyrighted pictures!! Best to contact the OP directly.
I did a quick search and found that Heinz-owned railcars had the reporting marks HJHX from 7/1935 to 7/1965, discontinued after 1966. So, if you have (or can get) access to Official Railway Equipment Register (ORER) documents over that time period, you should be able to compile a list. Good luck in your effort!
Alan Thanks for the reminder-dont get old !! P Hering
Not quite what you asked for, but the Dec 2011 issue of Railroad Model Craftsman has an article by David J Leider on the pickle industry and railroading. It has lots of photos, including those of the Heinz cars.
Do a google search. You'll find links and also check "images" tab.
