Caption: We're riding GO train #260 today (Bramalea-Union), looking at the front of our train as GO Transit F59PH 521 in the lead is about to knock down the light at CN Keele on the approach to West Toronto diamond. The double towers of the Crossways Mall are visible in the distance, as is the Wallace Avenue pedestrian footbridge near our next stop at Bloor GO Station. This consist was run as an L8 at the time (locomotive + 8 bilevels, easy to count from outside the train), and one can see the side indicator light illuminated for the 5A accessible car (the red on the other car is a reflection of the signal). The other thing that sticks out is the sheer amount of rivets on the older bilevels, pre-dating the switch to welded construction in the 90's.

To appease any concerned Metrolinx staff reading this, this photo was not taken while hanging off the side of a bilevel outside of the train at speed (don't hang off the sides of moving GO trains, kids), nor was it taken poking out an open bilevel window: rather, it was the ol' "trick mirror shot", shot looking into the side mirror of cab car 241 and flipped horizontally to its proper orientation. Today one can't really do this kind of shot anymore since the new cab cars are fully closed off, unless you get an old one with the cab door only shut on the engineer's compartment...(which always meant a nice ride on the conductor's side with such luxuries as a table(!) and full view out the rear).
