I remember seeing photos of a train derailment with bodies (from the fire wall back) on an open car and the notation was that the bodies were in transit to the California plant. Does that mean that Vernon was an assembly plant and the bodies and mechanicals were all supplied from South Bend?
As I understand it Hamilton made and painted their own bodies with stampings supplied from South Bend and elsewhere and the engines provided by South Bend (until 65 & 66). Once the South Bend production was closed did some of the stamping operations that had previously been done in South Bend move to Canada or were they sourced from other suppliers?
