Caption: GO Transit GMD GP40TCs 607 and 602 are seen paired with CN RS18 3655 at Toronto Yard's diesel shop in January 1967. Delivered in late 1966, the eight units numbered 600 through 607, were broken in hauling CN freight trains over the course of a few months. The units would have their paintjobs modified to official GO Transit colours by April 1967 for final equipment testing before the start of service on Tuesday, May 23, 1967.
Doug Page shot these units in freight service on a number of occasions: December 1966, CN 601 eastbound at Bayview December 1966, CN 601 eastbound at Milton March 1967, CN 603, CN 607 westbound at Bayview March 1967, CN 607 westbound at Burlington
