Welcome to Chew86! Those beverage distributors can be operationally very interesting. Even if the distributor handles products from a single manufacturer, there can be several brands in the product line and a different car spot for each one at any given time. Throw in partially unloaded cars that need to be re-spotted and a beverage distributor can become a challenging switch job. What's not to love about insulated box cars?
