Former Rock Island GP40 724 leads a GO Transit deadhead move out of Hamilton after it came west from Toronto Union Station to the CN station in Hamilton. The deadhead move will run back to GO's Willowbrock shop complex. Trailing 724 is ACPU 903 was rebuilt from an Ontario Northland FP7A and provided electrical power to the train as well as providing a cab on the push end of the train. No. 904 and most of GO's other ACPUs were scrapped in 1995. I was taking the train to Toronto then and watched the daily progress as the scrapper went down the row at Willowbrock.
