Comments on: Superstition dictates that 666 is a bad sign. Nevertheless, GO Transit locomotive 666 is seen pulling train 914 towards Union Station without any mishaps. Interestingly, when VIA 6403 appeared on the new $10 bill, the locomotive was renumbered 6459 because its new-found fame was thought to have jinxed it. Apparently GO was not so concerned.

The new two-tone green looks quite good on the bi-levels, but hideous on the locomotives. Diesel locomotives (no matter how efficient) still produce exhaust, so why would you use copious amounts of white paint on one?

Could they have picked an uglier green?
