You’re either a pretty good shitposter or a person I would avoid with my life if I saw you in person.

This isn't even the start of it. Imagine how mad he's going to be when we start getting electric locomotives and they have *shock*, a slightly diffrent sounding horn!

The horror!!

It's all part of the conspiracy.

You know I just realized something, will GO be able to get these new locos by 2024/2025? I mean we don't even know if the manufacturer was decided, and the timeframe for the first 8 locos is already less than 2 years.

 

[dowlingm]

I'd guess then maybe 25-30% of the diesels would be retired.

Is there any reason we might not expect spared-out MP40s to be sold on, such as mileage or other intensity of use, or engine weight? There are some pretty old F40s and so on rattling around North American transit agencies.

It’s going to be a tight turnaround. The contract bidding closed in September, so MX should be in the process of deciding on a winner now. I have no idea who bid, but I can’t see someone like Siemens being able to turn around an order this fast considering how busy their plant is.

Maybe Siemens can build another facility in Canada? They may get another VIA rail order for their legacy fleet. If the Northlander comes back they may need 4 locos.

Anything else on the horizon in Canada? Are the F59PH's for west coast express going to need replacement?
