 The Transportation of the Fresh Produce from Hall, Luhrs and Company Hall, Luhrs and Company had a problem of getting their produce to the East Coast of the United States fresh. The vegetables would be spoiled when unloaded from the train on the East Coast. They decided to put ice from the Sierra Nevada Mountains on the trains. The ice melted too fast. If the ice in the Sierras was melted or the company couldn’t get to it, they went to Alaska. This was the best ice to use. It didn’t melt very fast. When the food was unloaded, it was a lot fresher. By doing this, the food was a lot better than the spoiled food. Hall, Luhrs and Company could get the food to the East Coast way faster. This company made a whole lot more money this way.
