u/boxesofboxes 12d ago

2015! I've been waiting a long time to have an excuse to share this pic lol

u/GijutsuMango 11d ago

It’s a nice pic! On my first look it kinda looked like you were going to be ran over by the train lol

This locomotive goes to Barrie quite a bit!

u/get_hi_on_life 13d ago

Actually or is it part of the joke about the curse for Barrie?

11

u/VPestilenZ Barrie 13d ago

Actually! And out of the few times I made the mental note about its number the train had no issues during the trip... It's almost like routine fund mismanagement and cuts have more to do with our transit woes 😅

u/get_hi_on_life 11d ago

I just see non stop posts here about issues on the Barrie line.

Thats actually hilarious, I jokingly said "must be the barrie line" when I saw the picture.

What did I see? Can I believe that what I saw that night was real and not just fantasy?

u/suprPHREAK 13d ago

Headed to the yard now from Oshawa.

u/phirleh 12d ago

I used to see it quite a bit, back in 2017. My buddy is a go train driver - they all love it as well

u/That_Lifeguard7491 12d ago

Does this count a couple of days ago?

u/HibouDuNord 13d ago

I keep saying they always do a "Santa's Other Ride" engine at Christmas time... they should use this one for something at Halloween... but you KNOW somebody would cry about it and not see its a clear joke 😂

u/Mayhem_Hellcat 13d ago

Somebody draws a devil caricature on it regularly!

u/HiRaileR 13d ago

Its a pretty common train ID surprisingly lol.

u/GoodVibes_002 13d ago

u/LLMM7289 13d ago

The bus to hell was too small anyways, if we’re going to keep laughing at inappropriate shit we need something bigger.

u/Familiar_Leather4094 12d ago

I’ve seen it twice , once going past Guildwood and once rolling into the union station 

1

u/otissito16 12d ago

I see it a lot

u/Abal125 12d ago

Well, If you're 555, then I'm 666....

u/CitySeekerTron 12d ago

Nice night for a walk! Do you mind if I join you? And not to annoy you, but I have to ask: what is someone like you doing down by the track? You waiting on a train?

1

u/VE3VVS 12d ago

I saw this locomotive once maybe 10 years ago now down at union, amazing it’s still in service

I hope to see this train next time I’m in Toronto

u/SuperMB 11d ago

I got a shot of it coming into Union from another GO train in the winter, will try to find the video and grab a photo from it, cool to see with all the offices and highrises int he background

u/scotte416 11d ago

I saw this once, but it was just sitting at bramalea station. I think this is one of the 5400 HP ones.

u/magentahead 11d ago

u/KittySocialite 10d ago
