GO F59PH #521 pushes a westbound evening train full of commuters to a stop at Appleby. The 521 had recently been rebuilt and sports the short-lived and failed stylized "GO Transit" logo beneath the cab windows. The only other unit to wear this version of GO's logo beneath the cab windows was 520, and both were removed and replaced with the standard GO logo farther back in the white stripe shortly after this photo was taken. 527 was the one unique unit to wear this logo in a larger format on the sides of the locomotive. It only lasted a few months, reason being it was blurry and difficult to read. Very few photos exist of this logo on the motive power. Had I known it would shortly be phased out, I'd have pursued more opportunities to photograph these units.
