From 1965 to 1979, the cars were built by Hawker Siddeley Canada and later by its new owner the Urban Transportation Development Corporation. The cars were built at the Thunder Bay plant.

Famous quotes containing the word subway:
“In New York—whose subway trains in particular have been “tattooed” with a brio and an energy to put our own rude practitioners to shame—not an inch of free space is spared except that of advertisements.... Even the most chronically dispossessed appear prepared to endorse the legitimacy of the “haves.””
—Gilbert Adair, British author, critic. “Cleaning and Cleansing,” Myths and Memories (1986)
