Is GO Transit the only commuter operator in Canada and North America still buying diesel locomotives? What about the rest of the world?
A. Many transit authorities use diesel technology, employing similar locomotives and cars as GO Transit. Some examples: Florida’s Tri-Rail, Seattle’s Sounder, California’s Metrolink and Caltrain, Vancouver’s West Coast Express and Montreal’s AMT. While diesel remains the predominant fuel source for North American commuter rail networks, electric trains are used in some areas for high traffic lines. In Europe and parts of Asia, electric trains are more common. Both diesel and electricity are common power sources for rail networks around the world.
