A Barrie Line GO Train collided with a semi truck earlier today (haven't heard of any injuries)

Not my picture but here is the damage to the cab car.

Is that wood? Forgive me I know nothing about construction of cars...but I'm going to guess it is not.

Looks like glass fibre reinforced polymer.

Is that wood? I am assuming it's the structure of these CEM Cabs. Would it be the same material on the rest of the cab. Sorry a bit of a dumb question. Just seems odd that I see a wood like material in the front.

Or just plain ol' fibreglass.

No such thing as a dumb question, except perhaps for ones that were already asked 2 posts earlier... I kid but had to do a couple of literal double takes.

Not bad for a facelift after 40 years.

Also @RS3488, you should be a CPTDB wiki editor for how much you track this stuff.

They look so good wow.

204 has been placed mid-train and moved to beside the main at Willowbrook.

Also I'm guessing since the initial order of locos has been expanded from 13 to 27, and the tender still hasn't been decided, we probably won't be seeing any locos delivered to GO in September of this year as was initially reported.

That order was cancelled a little while ago

That order was cancelled a little while ago

Are you talking about the previous 13 unit RFP?

Acquisition of locomotives is still on the Metrolinx acquisition plan posted a couple of pages ago.

13 locomotive tender was cancelled. The procurement plan outlines a new order/tendering process with a larger number of locomotives.

Nah, personally I like the stripe just going straight throughout the coach.

Also you turned the cab cars double ended lol, with cabs on both sides

Now picture them developing a power car that they can slot right in between the cab cars and trailer cars just like njt. DMUs/emus on the cheap!!
