GO Transit Fleet Equipment and other

[T3G]

So GO is getting at least 4 from Montréal. That’s exciting. I assume they just need a paint job then they’re good for service?

Or maybe they'll languish around the yard post-repainting for 4+ years. With ML you never know LOL

No. At the very least, they will need new HEP alternators (but not generators), switchgear and wiring to handle GO's HEP voltage.

In reality, they probably need some more major work as they likely haven't been well cared for over the most recent little while.

It's not garbage and why would you pay 10x more for new equipment that will be obsolete in ten years?
