Original Toronto Star caption: New shape in shipping is a big square box. First container train from Manchester Liner's Montreal container port arrived yesterday at Canadian National's $1;000;000 Concord express terminal at Keele St. and Highway 7. CN took 182 of the 20-ton containers off the Manchester Challenger. Some 158 were destined for Toronto; 10 for Hamilton; 8 for Winnipeg; 5 for Chicago and 1 for Detroit. The big boxes may revolutionize transport.
