I usually drive under two train bridges on the Don Valley Parkway each morning as I drive to work. One is a CP line and on the other I occasionally see Ontario Northland (ON) trains. I'm often treated with the sight of an ON passenger train or a CP freight (still have to keep my eyes on the traffic though!!).
Well, yesterday morning, an ON passenger train suddenly appeared with its usual 3-4 ON passengers coaches behind it ... But the very last coach this time was a green & white GO Transit coach!
I was a little surprised to see this. I know that mixing stock has always been common, but the GO coach really stood out because of its different colours and totally different size -- it's so much taller and larger than the silver ON coaches.
Is this common? Just curious!
Thanks,
Rob
