This was a large foundry operation which was needed by Mr. McLean to supply the many metal parts for his increasingly large production of cars. Thomas Wright disappears from Montreal city directories at this time, though other parties with the same surname continued in the carriage building business in Montreal for some years subsequently. Duncan McLean, the senior partner apparently moved from Montreal to Toronto and set up business there as a railway car builder on the north-west corner of Queen Street West and Denison Avenue. There is no indication that Alexander Fleck built any railway cars following the dissolution of his partnership with Duncan McLean. |
