From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Canadian Light Rail Vehicle (CLRV) is a type of streetcar currently used by the Toronto Transit Commission in Toronto, Canada.
The first ten cars were to be manufactured by SIG of Zurich, Switzerland and used as templates for Urban Transportation Development Corporation (UTDC) (now Bombardier) to manufacture the rest at the Thunder Bay works. However, this number was cut down to six, which is why there are no CLRVs numbered 4006-4009.
