Caption: GMD F40PH GOT 511 with its train of 7 multilevel 2000-series coaches and a single-level cab car sit out the weekend beside GO Transit's fueling facilities, in this east-facing view. The reddish brown objects stacked in front of the closest pole could be brake shoes.
Left over from the former CN Mimico Yard here on the north side are some buildings, with the east yard tower prominent. We signed our releases and borrowed hard hats in another.

GO's F40ph locomotives were new in 1978, and GOT 511 is very clean and glossy. A CN person invited us into the cowl body engine room of an idling F40ph; he opened up a valve cover to show the exhaust valve rockers working and revved up the engine, a very loud and memorable experience.

The main line tracks of CN's Oakville sub are on the white gravel at right. The red brick buildings beyond the end of the train are close to Mimico GO station. Don't expect to be permitted into any rail yard nowadays - however Islington Ave bridge provides good views of the GO and VIA yards.
