happened to go by the Florida Bottling Company and found a box car spotted just west of the loading platform and they were unloading pallets of bagged rice with a forklift. As you can see from the photos the truck was completely blocking the road, but no one seamed to really care. Now I know why a regular box car was spotted just west of the loading dock and was not refrigerated, they use the siding as a team track for other businesses when Fl bottling is not using the spot.
