Caption: Who can resist a nice pair of GO Transit F59PH units just sticking out of the Toronto Union Station train shed, ripe for a photo? GO 541 on Georgetown line train #210 was our morning ride into the city, shown unloading on Track 4 next to 525 on an unknown morning train that's just about to back out of the train shed on Track 3. Despite the signs, there was no trouble as long as one didn't linger and was a paying customer (just don't cross the tracks, they hate that). There were, of course, other ways to shoot F59's under the train shed.
I believe 525 and the first order (520-535) were rebuilt at AMF in Montreal, which was why they received those CN font numberboards, while 541 was a later rebuild done at CAD or CLN and got that larger font style. 525 is now pushing Dallas area commuters around Texas as Trinity Railway Express 120, while 541 is doing the same in North Carolina as NC DOT control cab 102.

The new F59′s with the small logo on the front porch are a travesty.
