After their body shells were built, they were sent to Canada for final assembly. She joined a fleet of 539 street cars known as “Red Rockets” that served Toronto. The car served for the next 40 years, receiving several updates and even an extensive rebuild in 1993, but scheduled for scrap in 1995. She was purchased by MATA and brought to Dallas in 1995 and began service in the MATA fleet in early 2019.
