Jim,
You trying to pick a fight? That's not McCain Valley, that's Carrizo Gorge. And the beer that got derailed was Tecate. I've got the article around here somewhere, but I remember when it happened. The local deputies were having a tough time intercepting fearless folks on off-road motorcycles shooting down the tracks to score a six-pack of the Budweiser of Mexico. The railroad people insisted that the beer was ruined because it had been out in the sun for so long. I suspect it was the thrill of the hunt more than anything.

I was in McCain Valley at the Carrizo Gorge overlook, yes that is Carrizo Gorge. If you find the article about the beer let me know. The more I research this the facts are less clear, and what these cars contained seem to different in each post I read on the internet. Does anyone have the story on these two railcars?
My friend got the beer can from the area where the beer was lost, the ones they open were no good to drink.
