	Transit Toronto - Content: The Canadian All-Electric PCC Cars (Classes A6, A7 & A8)
		The car was essentially stripped to the frame and so extensive was the salt corrosion, that TTC decided that a core number of PCCs would have to be similarly refitted if they were to continue in service until new cars were delivered.
		Ultimately, 44 cars were rebuilt in 1972, 78 in 1973, 26 in 1974 and a final 25 in 1975, making for a total of 173 cars of the A-6 (79 rebuilds), 7 (45 rebuilds) and 8 (49 rebuilds) classes at a total cost of $3.1 million.
		Cars 4301, 4306, 4308, 4310, 4313, 4323, 4326, 4328, 4332, 4335, 4340, 4344, 4348, 4364-4366, 4377, 4383, 4393-4395, 4397, 4398, 4407, 4421, 4442, 4458-4459, 4463, 4466, 4474, 4485, 4492 and 4507 were generally shipped off for scrap.

	Railway Rolling Stock Industry in Canada
		The Ontario Car Company did not survive into the electric railway era, but it did produce horse cars, if we are to judge from the fact that one of these is pictured on the letterhead of the company, a copy of which is in the possession of the writer.
		The foundry was able to produce the castings for the metal parts of the cars, and the rest of the construction involved the use of lumber and timber, of which there was a plentiful supply in the Cobourg district at the time.
		Though Canadian Car built hundreds of passenger cars, they were seldom called upon to furnish a design for any of them, and nearly all their production for major roads seems to have been designed by the customers rather than by the builders.

	California State Railroad Museum Foundation - Canadian National Railways Sleeping Car No. 1683 St. Hyacinthe
		Hyacinthe is typical of all-steel Pullman type sleeping cars of the heavyweight era, the period between 1907 and the mid-1930s.
		After retirement in 1971, the sleeping car was purchased for scrap value by the Pacific Coast Chapter of the Railway & Locomotive Historical Society, and presented to the California State Railroad Museum in 1980.
		It is displayed in the Museum as a typical sleeping car traveling at night: a mechanical device built by the Museum rocks the car to simulate motion, berths are made-up, a lone passenger is sound asleep in his compartment, and lights of passing towns and grade crossings flash by the windows.

		In 1940, Canadian Car and Foundry hired 200 women to build Hawker Hurricane fighter planes for combat in the Battle of Britain.
		She was sometimes called a "Spitfire, Queen of the Hurricanes." But other women with a more charitable view allowed that she completely changed life for women economically and legally, and her later appointment to the Royal Commission on the Status of Women was a fitting one.
		Towards the end of the war, 3600 people were laid off at the Canadian Car plant, but the Rosies who contributed their memories for this film concluded that their work at the foundry was the greatest experience of their lives.
