Centurion Arrives in BC
[B] The local papers gave a lot of space to the arrival of an Korean War tank.
And I quote...."Aldergrove is now home to the last surviving Centurion tank with proven combat experience in the Korean War."
“Tina the tank,” as coined by a CN Rail employee, lived on the opposite coast at Nova Scotia’s Cornwallis Military Museum from 1988 until its recent closure in 2019, due to a lack of volunteers.
On Oct. 30, the nearly 50-ton tank was loaded onto a CN Railway car in Dartmouth, N.S."
After the cross Canada journey...it arrived at local CN Yards a few days ago.
Then parked in front of the Aldergrove Legion for Nov11 ceremonies.
Did not see a CFR. Anybody know..?
