Calgary Transit received it's first order of 30 trolley coaches in 1947 from Canadian Car & Foundry (CC&F) Brill from Fort William, Ontario, now known as Thunder Bay, Ontario.  These buses were delivered by train and kept in storage at the old Street Car barns until they were needed, with trolley coaches 400-409 brought out to a temporary line that was strung in west Calgary from 4 Street SW along 8th Avenue westbound to 9th Street, then north on 9th Street to 4th Avenue and back eastbound to 4th Street SW to the beginning of the trolley loop.  Out of this order, only 422 survives and is now located at the Reynolds-Alberta Museum.
