Photo: Eight Boxcars Of Pork And Beans (1960) A photo from the Norfolk Southern Corporation: Click on the photo to enlarge it. Description" "...eight boxcars were ready to roll with 11,000 cases of pork and beans at the Stokely-Van Camp plant in Newport, Tennessee, headed to Merchant Distributors in Hickory, North Carolina. A Southern Railway logo on one of the cars was nearly obscured by an advertising banner and an oversized pork and bean can. At the time, this half-a-million can order was one of the largest ever shipped to an individual customer from the North Carolina canning company." Bob Chaparro Hemet, CA

I have always thought that if there is anything to "truth in advertising" they should have been called "Fat and Beans" - never was enough meat in them to justify the "Pork" label. I suspect that all of the meat by-products in the Van Camps product was the result of some 'trimming the fat' operation where ever pork was being slaughtered. - Jim
