N Scale Grape-to-Glass #4 - Bear Creek

This 40’ double-sheathed wood reefer is brown with orange sides and runs on Bettendorf trucks. Owned by California Dispatch Line, and leased by Bear Creek Vineyard Association of Lodi, California, this car was technically a tank car in function, despite having the exterior form of a reefer. Commonly seen with CDLX cars, this TW class car had six large wood tanks inside and the exterior wood sheathing helped to further protect the car from the elements.
