Coors Silver Bullet Train Crashes
The Silver Bullet Train ran away in the rail yard and smashed into a locomotive. Foamy beer spilled everywhere. But this brings up something interesting I didn’t know. Coors must not bottle all of their beer at the brewery. For some reason they ship some out in old rusty railroad cars. I thought their beer tasted a little metallic.
From the AP here:
A string of runaway rail cars spilled beer in downtown Denver Wednesday after they crashed into a parked locomotive and derailed.
A switch engine was assembling a train around 4:30 a.m. when the crew lost control of the 34 cars, which rolled downhill into the stationary locomotive.A tanker car carrying Coors beer overturned and spilled its contents onto the rail yard, Forsberg said. Another car carrying asphalt was damaged and leaked.
