They are heavy-duty road freight power, so no, there is no onboard power generation capability.

Wonder if they got a good deal...

So, applause to you for finding this.................my only challenge, the link didn't work for me.

Now, media sometimes move links around, its just a broken url.

So I went to the media site, and looked, no sign of it on the front page, so I searched for ONTC and this article does not come up...........

It's here.

It's here.

Excellent! Thank you!.

From the piece, this is the key excerpt:

Something coming tomorrow in terms of an announcement:

More GO transit refurbishment contracts?

More GO transit refurbishment contracts?

Consider the pre-election timing. This is absolutely about the Northlander.

Look who is all attending, and consider the pre-election timing. This is absolutely about the Northlander.

So, an election promise? Cus that's all it is if it is not running before the next election.

 

[ShonTron]

It's not as if the Northlander will suddenly start running again. The proposed "Timmins" station (at the far end of Porcupine) isn't anywhere near construction start. It would likely be an announcement of detailed planning and design work to follow the initial planning.

... so an election promise to continue to promise.....

If it were in Timmins with a shiny shovel, I might have hope that it is more than just politicking.

Or that it will start running again, to it's previous terminus.

Or that it will start running again, to it's previous terminus.

Timmins has already been announced and it would be highly unlikely they would re-start service to Cochrane only to take it away, again. If I recall correctly, earlier announcements said service would re-start first from Toronto-North Bay.

If I recall correctly, earlier announcements said service would re-start first from Toronto-North Bay.

I could see this as the pre election goodie that today's announcement will be about.
