One of the notable features of GO Transit's Lakeshore line since its inception in 1967 is the stretch running parallel to the Gardiner Expressway through Sunnyside, where on a congested day, drivers stuck in traffic can marvel at the speed and efficiency of GO trains zipping by unimpeded. Things seem to be moving well through Sunnyside today as GO Transit single-level cab car 9855 trails an eastbound train heading for downtown Toronto, seen ducking under the Jameson Avenue overpass on the approach to Exhibition GO Station and the CNE. One of GO's eight GP40TC locomotives leads the 8-car Hawker Siddeley consist on the far end. 

An early GO oddity is the antenna mounted on one of the diaphragm lift rings on the rear of the cab car, visible sticking out above the roofline. These antennas seems to have appeared sometime in 1967 on some or all of the self-propelled cars and cab cars, but didn't last beyond 1970. Perhaps better radio technology came along by then.
