Unloading first TTC subway car from Britain. From the plant of the Gloucester Railway Carriage & Wagon Company Ltd., the cars were shipped by road to Avonmouth (the Port of Bristol) where they were loaded onto the vessel, City of New York. After an uneventful trip across the Atlantic Ocean, they were unloaded at Montreal onto specially equipped railway flatcars and shipped via Canadian National Railway to Toronto.
