GO Transit Fleet Equipment and other

I wish bad on the CEM cab cars because I want to see 215-250 cab cars leading.

Well, the cars have been here for 7 years, and there's been no flaw uncovered that precludes them from leading trains. I suspect you may not get your wish.

Honestly, why???

Probably because he's a random rail fan who doesn't like them for some reason. I have people who love the T1's and hate the TR's or think we should keep the SRT cars running commenting stuff like that on my YouTube channel all of the time.

Yeah from a railfan perspective I prefer the Old Cab Cars design wise to the CEM ones, but that's just it, from a railfan perspective .

The CEMs are obviously better for crews and safety, and I would not want to have a horrible accident that could potentially result in mass injury, or worse death, just to have more old cab cars in service.

Why would they keep the cab and most of its features

So when the government changes their minds in 6 months you don't have to waste a bunch of time and money, apparently.

Stadler KISS or Alstom Coradia Duplex?

There are about 20 older GO double deckers parked at Mac Millan yard. I wonder who bought them?

Honestly I think GO should go with battery powered locomotives instead. they look more train like than these rapid light rail looking things.

How would you define ''look more train like''? And why battery locomotives specifically?

battery locomotives don't necessarily need overhead lines or the 3rd rail to work, and in case of a blackout these locomotives will still run unlike (pure electric locomotives). also they don't in danger the wildlife like birds for example if they were to land on a power line they would die.

Considering most of Europe and the east coast of the United States runs fine, I don’t think GO will need to tap into a relatively new type of locomotive technology.

Also, I thought you “worked” for GO, shouldn’t you be able to override what they buy and change GO Expansion to be battery or hydrogen? Lol.

I do work for them, I am allowed to share my opinion about what go transit should use. my co-workers share opinions too.

I’m not religious, but lord have mercy on this thread if the real knowledgeable people here ever become inactive.
