[CBQ] Cane cars

["Rupert & Maureen" <gamlenz@ihug.co.nz>]

In the January 1927 Railway & Locomotive Engineering magazine (downloadable 
with a number of other issues at www.archive.net) is the following 

"The Burlington Refrigerator Express Company has ordered 100 cane cars of 15 
tons capacity from the Gregg Car Company."

I am aware of the sort of cars used to carry sugar cane but I can't see any 
obvious connection to BREX, especially I understand that Florida and Louisiana 
are the usual regions for that crop and therefore outside the normal BREX 
sphere of operations. 

The only suggestion (and possibly the most logical) is that someone made a 
slight error!  Any other suggestions?
