But does it have a washroom inside?...

Lord help UT if GO ever announced a plan to *name* its locomotives (as some railroads do).

I nominate Locomotive McLocomotiveface.

Yes I have a bias. Judge me.

GO’s first electric locomotive will be named after whatever Minister of Transportation signs the purchase order.

Coming in 2024, honest !

Too bad this is the only way CP will allow more bilevels on their tracks

Was shooting something else when 672 & 678 show up and not the best location for shooting trains. They were on a westbound Lakeshore Train At Garrison Crossing.

16 units were ordered (667-682). I saw a photo purporting to show the last two being delivered on Facebook.

Do the 16 include the teardown and rebuild of 647?

Do the 16 include the teardown and rebuild of 647?

My recollection is that there is no such intention - 647 was to be a DC/QSK unicorn. Can someone correct me on this? Given how long 647 took to enter service is it worth it to ship it off for another long vacation in Boise?
