I was allowed to blast the K5CA-LS in the CEM Cab Car.

From this Doug Ford vid at the Alstom shops there is this GO Transit Bombardier Cab Car (one of 242-250).
Note how it has been graffitied near the lower level.

Hey everyone, hope you all see this comment. I'm sorry for the way I have been treating you people. I know I took it too far, but I won't troll or do any other actions on this forum. Starting now.

Not my image, but here is refurbished GO 205 and the recently repainted ONR 2120

And here, there is 7 refurbished GO Cab Cars all at the ONR shops. And the one in the shops seems to have the reflective striping originally placed on them.

The Niagara Express Train has two F59s along with 12 cars.

It will be funny to see you people morn the loss of the MP40PHs and (eventually) the Bombardier bi-level cars when it all gets phased out with electric and/or dual mode locomotives (Siemens Chargers possible?) and eventually EMUs like the Alstom X'Trapolis or X'Trapolis Duplex.

What possible reason would they have for phasing out the BiLevels? The newest ones were only built two years ago!

Also the system would need to be well upgraded to make good use of EMUs, such as more infill stops and renovated facilities.
And BiLevels would still be needed on the non electrified portions of the network.

What is the timeframe for "eventually"? The Series I BiLevels have been around since the late 1970s and underwent their most recent refurbishments a few years ago. A coach is basically a shell and is much easier to keep going for decades than a locomotive or transit vehicle.
As for what's the point... eliminating diesel emissions is not enough? Why replace perfectly functional rolling stock that you can get decades of use out of? If you want to purchase EMUs for service expansions, by all means, but making what we have last as long as possible in addition to buying new equipment would be the best decision.
Which is why I don't expect Metrolinx to do it.

I think that is the case, since GO isn’t ordering any more from Alstom. I think now they are focusing on getting the BiLevels refurbished so that they can continue to be used when electrification arrives.
