The photo taken during this specific test was carried out with the LRV running at 30 km/h on all straight portions of the testing track, and 15 km/h on curved portions of it. The unit was going much slower due to a power failure that occurred as the LRV made its way to Topflight Drive.

I recently heard that some #OCTranspo D60LFRs will be going through a life extension refurbishment to make up for their fleet shortage issues, the photos I’ve seen of the outshopped units so far make them look REALLY good. It’s quite a shame I won’t be in eastern Ontario again for the year…

GO Transit service launched with 327 weekly trips on a single commuter rail line. To operate this service, a fleet of 8 locomotives, 9 self-propelled railcars, and 40 single-level passenger coaches were introduced. GO Transit was the first modern commuter rail service in Canada.

It'll be very exciting to see the evolution of GO's rail fleet several years from now, especially when electification is complete! We talked about this briefly but GO recently acquired a few secondhand F59PH locomotives, would love to see this updated to include them when they enter service!

59 years ago today, on May 23, 1967, the first GO Transit trains departed from Oakville and Pickering bound for Toronto Union Station. GO Transit began as a single commuter line, with trains every 20 minutes during rush hour, and every hour off-peak and on weekends.

Image shows a map of the first GO Transit commuter rail line.

The line has 16 stations listed west to east:
Hamilton
Burlington
Bronte
Oakville
Clarkson
Lorne Park
Port Credit
Long Branch
Mimico
Toronto Union Station
Danforth
Scarborough
Eglinton
Guildwood
Rouge Hill
Pickering

An info box in the upper left corner of the image reads:

“Government of Ontario Transit was Canadas first publicly-owned commuter rail service. The Lakeshore
Line was first GO Transit service to operate, the line spanned from the cities of Hamilton to Pickering,
running through Downtown Toronto, making 16 stops.

Service on this line and GO Transit as a whole officially began operation on the 23rd of May, 1967”

Remembering a fallen icon... 🚌 When MiRide first launched in 2023, #MiWay was in the process of retiring their #NewFlyer D40LF buses in favour of newer New Flyer XDE40 buses. Following retirement in 2024, some units had second lives with #DurhamRegionTransit, but all were retired earlier this year.

MiWay 2003 New Flyer D40LF 0338 takes off from the drop-off platform at the City Centre Transit Terminal in the early evening of June 5th, 2023, heading over to Platform H to pick up its next group of passengers bound for Westdale Mall.
