Railpictures.ca - Bill Thomson Photo: Painted in its proper colours from the “stealth” version it and its sisters wore in brief CN freight service, GO 604 is seen parked with a train of Hawker Siddeley Canada single-level commuter cars (based on the HSC RT-75 / TTC “H-series” subway car design) at Mimico in 1967. Of note, GO trains were maintained out of an old CN carshop in CN’s old Mimico yards before the construction of Willowbrook shop a number of years later. Before the official startup of GO Transit, these units did temporary runs in CN freight service in a modified paint scheme: http://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=15870 | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography

I remember seeing this paint scheme as late as 1974. Wondering when the last one was painted over and what number it was….

Arnold, IIRC the units went in for refurbishing around that time (mid-70′s), and all came out in the then-new GO green scheme. All became 9800′s (then later renumbered again as 500′s in the late 70′s or so).
