Lionel's 1981 catalog introduces the Favorite Food Freight collection. A Burger King GP-20 is the power for this set with a Wendy's Caboose. The cars are Lionel's reefer tooling. Three cars are listed in '81: Pizza Hut, Kentucky Fried Chicken and Red Lobster. Note the catalog illustration includes a pre-production example of the KFC car; production models are a red car with more modern KFC artwork. The Wendy's Caboose is listed in the 1981 catalog as 6424, but production examples are 6449.
