In this video we'll take a look at some of the last EMD/GMDD locomotives that can be found on Canadian passenger trains. We'll travel across the country, looking at GO Transit's F59PH, EXO's F59PH and F59PHI, West Coast Express's F59PHI, and VIA Rail's F40.
NOTE: There are a few small historical errors in this video that have been kindly pointed out by some viewers:
1.) Technically GO did not inherit CN motive power, having ordered brand new GP40TC locomotives for their inaugural service. However, CN did use these locomotives on their freight trains prior to GO beginning their passenger service as the locomotives were delivered before GO was ready to operate passenger trains.
2.) GO's electrification plan only accounts for the core of their commuter network. Longer distance intercity service will retain diesel power for the foreseeable future.
3.) EXO received their F59PHI's before they received GO's retired F59PH locomotives.
A special thank you to Sam Snider for providing footage of West Coast Express for this video.
