Campbell Soup Plant

[Brakie]

In that case tin stock could arrive by boxcar...

If they do, the modeler will need additional facilities to manufacture the cans - probably as large as the soup plant itself, and will need not just metal coils, but printing inks, paper stock, adhesives, detergents and other supplies essential to the manufacture of food-grade containers.

I have seen soup plants in action, and I have seen can factories in action, and generally speaking, the can manufacturing process is larger because of the space needed for all of the automated lines, stamps, dies, printers and transport chutes. Since soup cans have printed paper labels that are glued on, a printing facility is a necessary part of such a plant as well.

Actually no other plant is needed..You see carloads of tin stock,labels etc can enter the layout via interchange that's how that Santa Fe or PFE reefer ended up at our industries,that how EJ&E coil cars ended up on our railroad or any foreign road name car we have in our freight car fleet..



The operation of a ISL is to emulate the prototype as it switches a industrial lead or branch and not to emulate the whole system so,the material would already arrived via a interchange point and added to our train at our home terminal which is modeled off layout since we are modeling a industry lead or branch.
