Well this is most certainly interesting. At least the beer didn't get into a watershead or anything there of. If so people might of been getting beer 'n' water pumped through their lines. LOL. This reminds me of an incident involving UP and Budwiser. About a 1 ago Budwiser sued UP for leaving boxcars full of beer on a siding. The beer went bad. UP clamed they forgot about it.

LORD HELP US ALL TO BE ORIGINAL AND NOT CRISPY!!! please? Sarah J.M. Warner conductor CSX

I hope it is cleaned up soon without alot of animals getting drunk.

If they are like any of the guys in my old frat a patent on how fast the cleanup occurs would be a possibility

Sounds like a bad, possibly dangerous situation! [;)]

OH NO! Derailment spills 20,000 gallons of beer

CHILHOWIE, Va. (AP) - Fourteen cars of an 83-car Norfolk Southern train derailed near an industrial park, leaving the area smelling like a brewery Thursday.

About 20,000 gallons of beer leaked from three cars of the Roanoke-bound train, said railway spokesman Robin Chapman.

No one was injured when the cars skipped the tracks about 10:30 p.m. Wednesday, Chapman said.

Investigating officers said the leak did not contaminate any nearby water sources nor affect any highways.

"Everything was contained away from the creek," said Jack Tolbert Jr. of the Virginia Department of Emergency Management.

Authorities were investigating the cause of the derailment. All trains scheduled to use the tracks through Chilhowie were held until they were cleared Thursday evening.
