Comments on: Retired GO Transit equipment, including GP40-2w GOT 706 and unique 40′ boxcar CN 561747 (done up like a GO multilevel coach), seen on a storage siding in Willowbrook Yard. Early spring of 1991 (or 1990). All but one of GO Transit’s GP40-2W’s were acquired by CN in 1991, GOT 706 becoming CN 9673. On CN the ex-GO locomotives retained green & white paint for a while, minus the white GO plates from the handrails. Beyond the fence are CN Oakville sub main lines, then VIA yard tracks with LRC coaches (in service), and quite a fleet of VIA Budd RDC’s behind them (many stored/retired pending disposal). http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh?

The role it had later is much better known than its original purpose(s) - mostly we have hearsay and guess-work. But check out those comments. Have you seen the close sideview picture of that car ?
