Hey Bob,

Back in the day when I worked on the railway, cans were indeed made at
"The Can", and loaded into box cars for shipment to the canning
factories. Don't know about now-a-days, but there are many many small
canning plants that I doubt can afford to have the equipment and
ability, and then only use it for a growing season.

Take care.

ps...can manufacturing is VERY noisy.

I have been wondering for a long time. Where and how are the cans made
for canned food? It would be costly to ship them empty from another
location so I imagine the cans are made at the food processing/
packaging plant but this is only a guess.

So anybody know anything more?

Thanks
