That's the thing... fra and tc won't do any proactive to modernize their standards. This bell and whistle thing is from the wild west and is seriously dinosaur. Same with the regs on train design. It's just a shame that we tout ourselves to be the most developed nation in the world but in reality things like these just proves otherwiseAlso while the horns are something that could be likely limited in most areas, it would have to take the FRA and Transport Canada to change the regulations to limit bell ringing, cause it's required that they have to do it at when entering or exiting stations, and even at quiet zone crossings.
Well, then I guess the only thing then is to see whether the FRA and TC will end up modernizing their standards. And to be fair since CalMod is getting the Stadler KISS, that may open the doors for more railroads to move towards EMU models, allowing for standardization of European designs for new regional railroads.That's the thing... fra and tc won't do any proactive to modernize their standards.

The issue is more that TC have mandated that all passenger trains have 2 different horn outputs. The "regular" is tuned to about 95db, with an "emergency" tuned to about 110db.What are the differences between the horns? On YouTube theg both sound virtually the same

How they do this is totally up to the individual railways - most have set up a second horn control circuit and second set of horns, but GO has decided to modify their horns with a dual manifold so that only 3 bells operate in one mode, and 2 in the other.

Where are you finding these photos?On another note, here is a high quality picture of GO Transit Cab Car 212 with newly added numberboards. Must be signaling a return that could even be within this season. Photo credit to Nico Anello.View attachment 407571

Honestly a possibility for GO., with the ADL facility in Concord closed, BYD’s new facility in Newmarket (I don’t think they’ve built anything since the buses for Toronto and Longueuil), and a government keen on keeping jobs in the Province. However, I’ve heard GO’s not in the market for any more double deckers. Though BYD has a full product line, and God knows they’d probably be happy to come up with something custom for GO.

We haven't heard anything on the 2 DD electric buses GO had for testing and this could open the door for BYD depending on a number of things.Honestly a possibility for GO., with the ADL facility in Concord closed, BYD’s new facility in Newmarket (I don’t think they’ve built anything since the buses for Toronto and Longueuil), and a government keen on keeping jobs in the Province.
