Now wearing GO Transit's first paint scheme, GP40TC 605 pushes a four car test train through Hamilton in May 1967. Those "GO kart" single level Hawker-Siddeley coaches had 94 seats, compared to 162 on the bi-levels now in use...hard to believe that a mid-day, off-peak train today has more capacity than an entire rush hour train when GO started its "three year experimental service" fifty-one years ago!
