New DMUs for Union Pearson Express (Toronto, ON)
Author: DundasMP23

The first DMUs for the new Union (station) Pearson (Airport) Express were on the tail end of CN train 148 today. For a very informative website see:

Not bad looking. Glad to see a more traditional scheme instead of another corny swoosh-type deal that has become so common.

They apparently were moved with SGLX reporting marks. Can anyone provide info on who this is? I have seen mention of their being involved in loco deals, but can't find much info on line.

Colours are just vaguely reminiscent of the old CN colours.

That large blank, windowless area, is that an ADA bathroom, or luggage racks ?
That is a unattractive shade of green - looks like Army fatigues.

Don't think the washroom has to be ADA compliant in Canada but you would find they have to meet very similar Accessibility and Barrier-Free Design Standards.....and my guess is large luggage storage areas are provided also.

As a downtowner, that's going to make a sweet trip to the airport. And it beats taking your life in your hands in a taxi.
