Welcome GO
A GO Transit test train comes to a simulated station stop at St. Marys. GO is currently looking to implement service between Kitchener and London via CN's Guelph Subdivision, and crews spent the weekend running test trains for timing and platform measurements. Currently GO service ends in Kitchener, about an hour drive from London. It will be interesting to see if this comes into fruition or not over the next few months.
*2025 Mike now speaking, the service happened and lasted for about a year before being discontinued but unfortunately I was only ever able to photograph the test runs since the revenue runs were only on weekdays, because who would have needed to take the train for leisure weekend purposes right?
Train: GO Test train (ID unknown) with GOT 564 (F59PH).
