I'd be surprised if they didn't. IIRC that was an aftermarket addition to GO buses after a Coach Canada driver fatally ran over a pedestrian in Guelph.

The conditions were so bad that they actually closed the road. I'm surprised they actually let the driver risk it during this weather.

Any word on whether GO will acquire the Northstar fleet from Minnesota?

Last I heard Trinity Railway Express and Amtrak were interested in leasing some of the equipment, but GO is such logical choice for a sale.

On December 17th. SPTX F59PH 867 was spotted on CN 492 going east in Michigan, don’t know where it went afterwards.

Seeing GO is still claiming they want to electrify the fleet, why on earth would they want the North Star diesel ones?

Because they are currently fleet constrained if they want to increase service at certain periods.

GO is not a logical place, not compared to TRE or Amtrak or any number of different US properties. The equipment would have to be rewired to match's GO's standard. There are no such mods needed for any of the American agencies.

On December 30th, SPTX F59PHs 870 and 872 were spotted in CPKC Nahant yard and it’s unclear if they went to Chicago afterwards. Unclear if Metrolinx will buy the remaining F59PHIs 875 and 883 from SPTX along with 1 or 2 F59PHs from NCDOT that are sitting in Anaheim CA.
