Comments on: Working the last morning GO train from Georgetown, GO Transit F59PH 539 has its steel bell pinging and ditch lights flicked off as it leads train #210′s “L10″ consist out of the fog and slows for a stop at the Bramalea GO station (on time at 8:08am), ducking under the Bramalea Road overpass at the west end of the platforms. I was always curious about the long-disused elevated platform with wooden handrails at this end of the station, but from digging around aerial shots it was probably constructed as a temporary platform for the accessible coach while the station was undergoing platform expansion around 2002-ish. 539 would have a good year and change left in service: after working throughout 2009 it was stored in January 2010, and was part of the 536-540 group sold and moved to RB Leasing in Lachine Quebec during March 2010 (displaced by the second order of new MP40′s arriving). 539′s disposition is unknown after that; it doesn’t seem to have been leased out or resold like other RBRX unit were.
