Description
In 1967, following the postwar congestion caused by increasing car traffic on our roads, the Ontario Government launched a new commuter rail service called GO Transit.
Pictured behind our tour participants here is Cab Car 104 - built by the Hawker-Siddeley Company - one of GO Transit’s original single-level cab cars. In operation until 1994, it was sold to another transportation company in Montreal, then reacquired by GO Transit in 2017, restored, and donated to the Toronto Railway Museum to celebrate GO Transit’s 50th anniversary.
