Beck's Beer

Betriebsnummern EL 38972, 38977

The Magnus Beck Brewery was originally founded by Joseph Friedman in 1840. Magnus Beck became a partner in 1855, taking control of the operation. The beer was promoted as "naturally smooth" and "Buffalo's Best."  Closing during Prohibition, Beck's reopened in 1933 and operated successfully until 1956.

At the turn of the 19th Century, during America's Industrial Revolution, Railroads refurbished many of their well-built older wood-side cars for more modern use by employing steel underframes, Bettendorf trucks, and new brake systems.
