LilianaUwU Posted December 1, 2022 Report Share Posted December 1, 2022 During my travels in Ontario, I saw a MCI coach in GO livery (can't remember the unit number) going on highway 401 EB not far east from Kingston. Is that normal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doppelkupplung Posted December 1, 2022 Report Share Posted December 1, 2022 I know some units have been rebuilt at Eastway in Pembroke in the past. Not sure if that is the case here, or if there are GO units there at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doppelkupplung Posted December 5, 2022 Report Share Posted December 5, 2022 Found on Reddit, not my pic. Wonder where they’re off to… Anyone here familiar with how they secure these onto the flatcars? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most vehicles are usually chained down around the axles. I would assume that they've done the same here. Dan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GZ6113PHEV5 Posted December 18, 2022 Report Share Posted December 18, 2022 I don‘t know if anyone notices the date of manufacture for 4000 the superlo ev was Nov 2015（someone took a picture of its info plate）.

Apparently the two electric buses’ chassis were part of the first SuperLo order, but for one reason or another, weren’t taken by Metrolinx.

Doppelkupplung Posted January 1, 2023 Report Share Posted January 1, 2023 In the past when GO used luglock rings on buses, did operators still have to remove the ring and check each nut by hand during a pre-trip? Or was it assumed that if the ring was on, they were secure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prying a lug loc off would definitely be beyond the scope of a pre trip inspection. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be bad, of course, but you want to make sure that that isn't even possible. Checking with a torque wrench would be more informative, but I'm envisioning a 3/4" drive monster for those nuts.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTAmissions1 Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 Go Transit to require passengers arrive earlier for a train departure since the doors will close 1 minute prior to departure. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/go-train-new-departure-policy-1.6707291?fbclid=IwAR1gO-fqfzCS-s71kAowqx8ytr2WORSy_IcJeYEjELF8Q6mqndpTjrTR0q0 Final comments: I can understand if you are at the beginning of the station or at Union Station during the PM peak period. Since the train is already on the platform usually 10 minutes prior to departure plus with large volumes of people waiting depending on starting point. If the train is running late, they will need to adjust so that people have time to reach the platform and in case a short train is operating. When going down further the line either boarding or disembarking at busier stations, time is lost of course with the longer dwell times. Seeing how the Barrie line times have been rejigged by a few minutes either at the start or end of the line to maintain consistent departure times. Union Station Bus Terminal, they do employ that you have to arrive about a minute prior to departure time. Once the doors get locked, they don't reopen them. Posting which Zone and gate to board the bus ahead of time. Reminds me of catching a flight and how airlines advise arriving 2 to 3 hours prior to departure and how the boarding gate closes 10 minutes prior to departure to ensure on-time departure.

Ed T. Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 The next step will be to do stop before each switch and then roll the entire train through at 10 km/h. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
