Comments on: GO Transit GP40-2(W) 9810 comes off the Halton Sub at Burlington with its short 3-car train and APCU, operating on a fantrip for the US-based Electric Railroaders Association. Fantrip attendees stand around the section between the Halton and Oakville Subs to get their shots, across from the Burlington Station (out of view to the right, note the platform edge at the bottom right). Among the stops made that day, the train would also visit the nearby Beach Branch and stop by the Burlington Canal lift bridge at Hargrove for a photo op. The new GP40-2W units and APCU conversions (ex-ONR FP7′s converted into cab control/HEP cars) were GO’s way of expanding the fleet economically as it introduced more new lines in the mid-70′s (notably the Georgetown line).
