Regarding "Buy America Act" and local assembly rules, how were the (Blue/Orange) Hawker-Siddeley cars delivered direct from Thunder Bay in 1979-81 without a domestic final assembly point? Were these cars built without federal funds (state funded/bond funded) or some waiver? And by 1988, were the 01700s delivered direct from Thunder Bay as well (by then merged with UTDC)? The 01800s were built in Barre, Vermont with stainless shells supplied from Quebec, AC traction equipment from GE in Erie and a high percentage of domestic content. The Type 8s came from Breda's shop in Littleton, and the Siemens Blue Line cars were assembled in Elmira Heights (now the CAF assembly plant for the Viewliners).
And to add, are Type 9s built as complete cars and fabricated on site in Elmira Heights like the Viewliners or assembled from shells?

Since my friend continues to chain smoke nonstop, she is probably an Alco.
