True story: once I had an e-mail exchange with a well-known freight car expert who was North of the Border. We were discussing a particular type of insulated car that also had a heater to keep the contents within a certain temperature range, and one question was what kind of cargo had to be hauled that way. I suggested beer. The guy got REALLY irritated with me, because he felt it implied that there were places in Canada that actually needed to have beer hauled in by the boxcar load! Sounds like these guys at least didn't have a problem with that. . .
