4 Commuter Trains -- A Little Caption Help Please
Author: MartyBernard

These are Roger Puta's.

1. CP 4074 in October 1980.

2. GO Transit 513 September 1979.

3. GO Transit 901 in March 1981. Is 901 only a cab car?

4. GO TRANSIT at Durham Junction in Pickering, ON (just east of Toronto) in September 1979.


Thanks,
Marty Bernard

GO referred to 901 and its sisters as Auxiliary Power Control Units (APCU), with the dual function of providing head-end power (if necessary) and a control cab.

First one is eastbound at CP's Vaudreuil station. Station has since been renamed Dorion.

#4 looks like the Kingston subdivision, just east of the Don Valley Parkway.

The large building on the left is the former Unilever soap factory.

#2 looks like the grade crossing at Scarborough Golf Club Road looking west.

#3 is Markham Road overbridge north of Eglinton Ave East in Scarborough. This is looking west towards Eglinton GO station.
