New GO Transit Cabcars.
Author: GP25

I didn't see this on here yet. But GO Transit has new Bombardier Cars coming soon.

I hope the GO Transit Bombardier Cars are comfortable.

That face will take some getting used to.  On another site someone pointed out that the previous cab cars could be used in the middle of a train consist and still allow walk-through.  Not so with these new ones.

Some ill informed speculation on the comments section, but that's to be expected.  Somebody should point out that electrification does not necessarily imply the use of mu trainsets or single level cars.  NJT and others run push pull, double deck, locomotive propelled commuter trains.

As for aesthetics, I think the GO cab cars are more attractive than the LA Metrolink equivalents.

I wonder if there will be a way to view the track through the driver's cab? That is always a treat for me when riding an existing cab car.
