For starters, the Greenbrier 72ft IL 7780 Reefer has an impressive capacity of 7780 cu.ft., with a 72ft 3in interior length. This makes it a whopping 82ft over the drawbars. The storage capacity is massive and shippers take full advantage of this feature, shipping items such as light or bulky frozen and perishable items. Since their introduction, the cars have commonly taken loads of potatoes, french fries and various perishables from the Pacific Northwest and California to points on the east coast. For a time, Union Pacific and CSX ran a joint train nicknamed The Salad Shooter for those purposes. In 2020, Lineage Logistics acquired Cryo-Trans and placed more orders for the Greenbrier 7780 Reefers. The new deliveries came with different features, which slightly changed the exterior look. The cage around the reefer unit changed, the truck centers were made to be slightly closer, and a more prominent notch for the end step on the B-end was added. Lineage Logistics continued the tradition of applying a colorful paint scheme and individual car naming.
