At 14:38, the newly-painted loco in front is the new MPI MP54, identifiable by its two sets of vents on the top to match its two prime movers. It's the most powerful diesel passenger locomotive in North America, with 5400 hp.
reaperexpress Sorry I meant the MP40, which sounds like a barrel of bolts. The MP54 doesn't sound much better. People living within earshot of a GO route will happy once electrification takes place, assuming they live long enough to see it.
Annoying as it is, the law requires the bell be sounded when a train is moving in a yard or a station to alert workers and passengers alike. And it doesn't always work. There were several cases in the past few years of oblivious commuters who were wearing earbuds and standing or walking too close to the tracks on the yellow line who got clipped by grab irons on a passing train and dragged to their deaths.
What a nice to have 10 to 12, 14 passenger. CalTrain (Between SF and San Jose) is a stupid system limited five cars (some are 6 cars) with so and so packed inside the train. When I hopped in of couldn't find a seat then next station stopped people got off from the seated and other who were standing grap their seats. I was stuck by standing entire the trip with my knee injury from my job. It is really stupid with limited sized of platform to limited 5 cars sized. And it should have more cars such as 8 or 10 or 12 or 16 cars just like Southern Pacific commuter with the comfortable for a paid to seated while doing paper work or read and if standing of couldn't read or paper work while holding one hand and other hold on object durning motions from getting falling. Also in the future will have frequently train in every minutes will not solving an issue just like limited one or two cars frequently SF Muni light rail or bus with so packed of people too. So, when a train supposed to have lots of passengers cars is the better! Right now I go Uber as I feel so comfortable seated while doing the laptop or phone calls for my businesses and no matter if the traffic is tie up as need to get my business work done at daily. After 50 years I stopped going on Caltrain (rode on former Southern Pacific too). Also, when a train break down or delays with the more trains arriving an awful pack on each train for couple hours of waiting to get less and less for me enter because my Health's issues. All my workers are stopped going on Caltrain too and no matter have every minutes train will not solving an issues (limited number of cars huh!)
When I lived in Toronto, it was my Go Station and would walk home. Lots of train action.
Come To Toronto Anytime. We Have CN, CP, Via, GO Transit And Sometimes An Amtrak. Enjoy The Trains

They still sound as though they are about to blow some parts out the roof when they accelerate a 12-car rake of GO double deckers.
Where have you heard an MP54? They're not in service yet.
