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.
