Biagi Bros. also has a warehouse in Auburn, WA., served by Union Pacific. Lotsa NdeM boxcars with Corona beer. Biagi is a BIG player in the wine bottle field, as well as filled & labeled case wine for various wineries here in Washington. I must question, however, the practicality of using rail for shipping bottled beverages. While temping @ Biagi Bros in 2005, my main task was to SHOVEL out the broken beer bottles & cans from the ex - Railbox cars. With the lack of serviceable bulkhead & cushion underframe boxcars these days, damage claims could be an issue.
