Eastern Car established a factory at LaGarenne, near Paris, France, in August 1916 to fill an order for one thousand 20 ton box cars from the French government railway. These were built to the famous French design capable of holding 40 men or eight horses. Five Eastern Car employees supervised the work in the factory. Later an assembly yard was established at Tours. Material for the cars was shipped from the Eastern Car Trenton factory and assembled at these two locations by prisoners of war. ----- 1915 bestellte die Französische Staatsbahn (ETAT) bei der kanadischen Eastern Car Company 1000 gedeckte Güterwagen. Dafür richtete die Eastern Car Company extra eine eigene Werkstatt in La Garenne in der Nähe von Paris ein, später folgte eine zweite in Tours. Die Einzelteile der Wagen wurde aus Kanada dorthin verschifft und die Wagen wurden in Frankreich von Kriegsgefangenen fertig zusammengebaut. Fünf kanadische Mitarbeiter überwachten vor Ort den Zusammenbau.

Photograph likely taken by Arthur Green during his 1868 visit to Bermuda. The present church - which followed two earlier churches on the same property - was reportedly started in 1796 and underwent alterations and additions in 1834 and 1846. This c1868 photograph was taken shortly before the church was extensively remodeled and the steeple was replaced in 1872-1873. The then hearse house is seen in the right foreground, while the single overhead line was part of the then military telegraph system installed in the 1860's – this line had to be relocated c1887 when a new hearse house was constructed on the other (southern) side of the public road.
