smallspy Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 I dont see why RailAmerica would say no since they would be getting a upgraded line for little or no cost to them RailAmerica has no say, since they don't own the line. I'm sure that CN on the other hand, wouldn't mind all that much. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newflyerinvero Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 From the Toronto Star:This is great news, as many feared that rail projects were excluded from the new EA process. I've always believed that the Georgetown South EA was going to be sent back once the new framework was in place and the RTP was released, so hopefully this is evidence that the province is moving in that direction. Where would the Georgetown South rail line go to? I also remember when a new proposal for a 'mid-town line' would be taking shape. What, if any was the areas or GO stations that line would serve?

D. DeLarge Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 Yes I forgot that Railtex leased the line but again CN wouldnt mind since they wouldnt be spending on line Ownership went something like Railink > RailAmerica > Fortress (who now owns GEXR).

smallspy Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 Where would the Georgetown South rail line go to? "Georgetown South" alludes to the portion of the Georgetown line that would be shared with the Blue22 airport shuttle. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Could be 2391 and 2392 or 2396 and 2397. Afterall, drivers aren't that reliable on sources. Let's see how accurate the info is starting next week when the 94 is suppose to be ran entirely by V Subs. BTW, 2378 came today. At this rate of one per day, in around three week's time we'll see the hybrids since MCI seems to be delivering them in relatively good order unlike Orion's NGs! for TTC.

TheAverageJoe Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Ownership went something like Railink > RailAmerica > Fortress (who now owns GEXR). Fortress owns RailAmerica but the still use the RailAmerica banner also they folder the FEC under RailAmerica control since Fortress bought them before buying RailAmerica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hybrid0920 Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 Anyone spot 94 today? Are there alot of V Subs? If you speak of 2394, then no I haven't saw it yet. And I dont think there are many Orion V Suburbans, saying that I have seen less than 5 in my whole life, where as the D4500's I've saw MILLIONS.

York Transit Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 Saw a movie clip with what seems to be, not one, but 2 GO Transit Fishbowls. I IMDB'd the movie and it appears to have been entirely filmed in New York in 2000 or so. Who owns these buses? Are they even authentic GO Transit buses?

Lucky you.... But there are more than 5 V Subs. And Orion V was asking about whether the 94 Oshawa Hwy2 route was running exclusively with V Subs, as was apparently going to happen this week.

Who owns these buses? Are they even authentic GO Transit buses? Those definitely have to be ex-GO Transit fishbowls. The paint scheme is spot on with their old style, and, well, they still have the Flag of Ontario on them (although, I think, this movie doesn't take place in Canada but California?). Awesome find! EDIT: According to the IMCDB (Internet Movie Car Database), these have been identified as 1975 New Look 5307As. Therefore, they are from GO Transit's 1045-1049 and/or 1050-1056 fleet.

In other words, strictly used for the C and Bayview routes back then. Just saw 2366 on 94 on a Sunday which means obviously the V Sub dominance on 94 hasn't started yet.

Enzo Aquarius Posted June 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 They've 'apparently' been confirmed as 1975 New Looks on that IMCDB website. Would be nice to have a DVD of the movie and get a better look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesnt make much sense having them on the 407 or Unionville corridor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
