Yesterday, during my 4th of July celebration. A ham radio operator friend of mine is also a truck driver. Told me about Kraft Food's cave railroad in Missouri. He said that trains will go into these caves to drop off their loads from cheese from production plants around the country. Of course, Wisconsin is America's dairyland. There alot of them that leaves here.
The trains will go into the cave and drop their boxcars. They would then couple up to the old ones and bring them out. Some of the cheese is shipped by train. Most is by truck.
Here is the reason why Kraft does this. Some cheeses are the best if they age. To supply millions of people worldwide they need alot of it. It would cost to much to keep a large warehouse at 50 degrees year round. Guess what? These caves are 50 degrees year round. Mother Nature supplies the refegiation!
My question is. Has anyone seen these caves? Has anyone modeled them? Billy, my ham radio friend told me the next time he would be going there. He was going to take some pictures. This sounds to be very interesting to see.
What do you think?
