Was 673 refurbished or just new livery?

I like these diagrams, thanks for sharing. What's the source on them?

I made them (There was actually a general template online that I made into each different Bi-Level Series).
I need to eventually remake them but I’ve done a diagram on all 16 variants that GO uses.

There’s a few details that I got wrong or forgot to include on each different one, but overall they still act as a good representative of what changes happened to a specific model of coach, whether it be removing a window or adding step lights, etc

673 is a fairly new locomotive, came around 2019 iirc.

Ah shoot. I got 674 mixed up with 647.

EP brakes can be applied and released faster and more evenly than a pneumatic system.

In theory, sure. And especially when compared to a standard, straight release system like used on freight trains.

But the system being used - and so far, only tested by GO - has not been liked by crews thus far mainly because it has not been able to release any faster or more reliably than graduated release.

Saw Confederate (Confederation?) GO yesterday. I couldn't tell if it was open because it looked in construction. I also pulled a spike out of some decommissioned branch line in Port Colbourne.

I believe Confederation Station progress is being talked about in another thread
