You do know, Mr. Metrolinx employee, that your agency is electrifying lines, right?

Yeah It's stupid in my opinion, I only work there because I like trains and I get paid some money.

Still I think hydrogen and battery locomotives look better in my opinion.

While although battery and hydrogen technology have come a long way, they haven't been tested or run on the large scale that GO is electrifying.

Battery powered vehicles are a technology in its infancy, while locomotives that run on electrical wires have been a thing for almost 100 years. It would be abysmally foolish of GO to GO for the experimental technology instead of the proven one.

Damn, what a shame that Metrolinx decides on their power source on the basis of costs and benefits rather than one boy's opinion of what looks better.

You don’t work at GO, if you do, tell us what division.

I mean, Canadian National purchased battery powered locomotives.

"one boy's" Just because of my username that doesn't tell my gender age or name of any sort.

Normally I don't assume people's gender, but I feel like putting "boy" in your username qualifies as presenting as male, at least for the purposes of this forum.

And your username is far from the only thing indicating that you are a child.

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

Tour operator in BC.

GO has retired all the non-SuperLo double deckers. They apparently really did not like them. A number of them have been picked up by tour operators including City Sightseeing in Toronto.

The first set, or DDH, were sold off a few years ago. All the “Go-Anywhere” buses, or DDL, were put into storage during the pandemic. Some time last year or this year, GO decided to retire all of them instead of bringing them back.
