Re: Will Dig For Beer!!
In about 1967 a train derailed just outside Stillwater, OK, near the Oklahoma State University campus. It was carrying a boxcar load of beer that subsequently split open and spilled thousands of cans of beer all along the railroad right of way. The beer co. sent out a grader that dug a pit and buried all the spilled beer. Night after night the RR had to run off college students armed with shovels that were digging up the beer! Finally they had to fence it off with razor wire and put locking gates on the area. I don't know what ever happened after that , but I remember several college students sitting around plotting how to get that beer. I heard one elaborate plan to tunnel under the fence. Just an amusing bit of trivia. Monty
