Alan, they look nice and aerodynamic, but sadly they aren't bullet trains. Those are the engines that the government-operated interurban transit system in Ontario uses. They were put into service starting three years ago and added some serious additional horsepower so they can pull 12-car trains to handle increasing passengers.
http://transit.toronto.on.ca/gotransit/2512.shtml Local regulations prevent trains from exceeding about 90 Km/h outside built-up areas and about 70 Km/h in the city. It's too bad because taking the GO train was the best rapid transit experience I ever had, other than it being an unnecessarily long ride.
