| We met an incredible man named Arthur Winston, who finally retired at age 100 after spending 73 years at one job: cleaning city streetcars, and then city buses, when the streetcars died. When Winston joined the company as a janitor, the company was known as the Pacific Electric Railway Company, which at that time operated the city's network of rail lines and electric streetcars, called Red Cars. BOMBARDIER TRANSPORTATION, a unit of Canadian aircraft manufacturer Bombardier, won a US$244 million contract to build 14 streetcars for the Monterrey Mass Transport Authority in a consortium with Siemens and Grupo Garza Ponce. |
