| THB 70 ton open top hopper #1218 was photographed on August 25, 1984 in
Hamilton's Aberdeen Yard. The white centennial leaf was prominently
displayed at the centre of the car side. |

Canada's
Centennial celebrations took place in 1967. Starting in 1966, the
Toronto Hamilton & Buffalo Railway (THB) applied the centennial logo
to a variety of their freight cars. This logo featured a stylized leaf
made from eleven equilateral triangles. There was one triangle for
each of the ten provinces; the eleventh triangle represented the
combined territories. On either side of the stem the years 1867/1967
appeared. Company policy was for these markings to be removed after
1967. As both of the accompanying photos were made in the 1980s, this
was obviously a long term process.

That's very cool! I didn't realize some THB cars had the Centennial logo on them. I have seen that logo on a few grain elevators.
