Active
The vast majority of GO Transit's active locomotive fleet consists of MP40PH-3C diesel-electric locomotives manufactured by MotivePower in Boise, Idaho. These replaced most of the older EMD F59PH over a 4-year transition program from 2008 to 2011. The new MP40 locomotives are significantly more powerful with 4000 bhp vs the F59's 3000 bhp, and their greater Head End Power capacity allows them to handle 12 coach trains instead of 10.
In 2011, GO Transit ordered 11 MPI MP54AC locomotives, to be rebuilt from existing units, followed by an order for 10 new build locomotives. MP40PH-3C unit 647 was sent back to Boise for conversion with a Cummins QSK-95 diesel engine into an MP54 in 2012, and was completed in 2015 (although dual Cummins QSK-60 engines were substituted instead). Testing of the first MP54AC began in December 2015, and the locomotive was formally delivered in March 2016, by which time GO Transit had increased its order for newbuild units to 16, for a total of 26. The order of 10 rebuilt units was later converted to newbuilds, the first of which was delivered in March 2018. While they are technically model MP54ACs, GO classifies them as MP40PHT-T4AC units.
Retired
GO's railcar fleet is composed exclusively of Bombardier BiLevel Coaches manufactured by Bombardier Transportation or its predecessors in Thunder Bay, Ontario. In November 2021, the fleet comprised a total of 949 railcars, including cab car variants.
On June 1, 2012, Metrolinx contracted Bombardier to manufacture an additional 60 bilevel cab cars of an updated design incorporating crash energy management features and improved Deliveries of these models have been ongoing since 2015.
GO Transit bus services
GO Transit currently operates two types of buses: single-decker highway coaches, constituting 75% of the active fleet; and commuter-type double-decker buses, constituting the remaining 25%.
