While shipping via the air is easier than ever before, trains are still an important part of getting products from one part of the country to another. However, when a recent train derailment left an entire car full of product floating in a river, two men knew they couldn’t let it go to waste. That could be because the car was full of beer and luckily for the men, they ended up with a boat full of cases for their troubles.

Over the weekend, a train traveling through Paradise, Montana left the tracks causing a 25 car accident. One of those cars was full of Coors and Blue Moon. After seeing reports of the crash, two men decided to get in a boat and see if they could help save some of the beer, so it didn’t go to waste

According to Bro Bible, the men were photographed rowing up to the pile of beer and loading cases into their boat. Apparently this is not the first time a train derailment dumped a bunch of beer into the river, as another incident occurred years back. Clearly, these men had some experience and knew what they were doing.
