GO Transit Fleet Equipment and other

Are they using it as a switcher?

Looks like they want to build a GO line along the York Sub. Or buy it out all together.

It would be cheaper to build one land in each direction and have a dedicated bus lane.

Either in the center median or on the edges.

No it has no number boards and very obviously is on its way to be rebuilt

You are misunderstanding. They want to buy only the portion of the York sub that the Kitchener line already uses and divert freight onto a new line that follows highway 407.

The end goal would be to also get CP on board. This is basically another attempt at The Missing Link.

The Missing Link: Shaping the Future of the GTHA Rail Network | UrbanToronto

One of the most effective transit upgrades for the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area could come not from building a new transit line, but from building a new freight line: we look at 'The Missing Link'.

Off-topic, but I think you mean the Halton Sub.

Do they alternate between ONR and Alstom? I guess CAD didn't bid?

Ontario Northland is still refurbishing the series 2 cars and will be for a while.

I believe they tend to send the older cars to Ontario Northland and the newer cars to Thunder Bay too, but I don’t know if that’s intentional.

$2.7M for a refurbishment of an unpowered car?

Not that long ago (2016) that would have purchased entirely new cars.

Is there any way to track down the cab cars with the old front? I'm aware there's numerous trarcking website but these seem to only show the locomotive numbers and not consist information.

Thanks

I wonder how much a new equivalent car from CRRC would go for

Publicly, there is no way other than trying to parse observations and sightings from others.

thats the price if inflation and refurbing old equipment. eventually the cost of maintenance approaches the cost of outright replacement. i wouldnt be surprised though if some of the costs trickle down to some kickbacks...
