Passenger Units on CN
Author: NiagaraMike

CN train 394 had six F59's on the head end, Appeared to be Metrolink units from California.
Anyone know where they are heading. Could Go Transit be buying the back?

Any info is appreciated!

My understanding is they are on the way to ONR in North Bay for refurbishing, then heading to Metrolinx/GO Transit.

I wasn't aware that Metrolink had any former-GO F59PHs.  Metra (in Chicago) has some, but I think the Metrolink ones were bought new.

Either way, it's an interesting development.  Sounds like GO is really trying to avoid Chargers.
