At first I thought this a catastrophe of tremendous proportions, but then I considered: what kind of beer is shipped in train cars?
Not any that is likely to be any great loss is my conclusion.

Maybe not in this country, but I heard it from an eyewitness (and a heavy user, I might add) that they used to ship fresh Czech beer to Vienna, Austria by railroad tank car every day. Of course, it is but a short distance there.
