N Bilevel Commuter Car, GO/Metrolinx Set #2 (Cab: 257 Coaches: 2838 2857)

The BiLevel Commuter Car was originally designed in the mid-1970s at the request of the Government of Ontario (Canada) to develop a higher-capacity solution for their GO Transit commuter trains in the Greater Toronto Area. The commuter trains had grown to 10-car single-level trains during peak times and it was felt that the ideal solution was to increase the height rather
than the length. These cars proved to be very popular with commuter agencies. By the year 2020, 14 agencies across North America operate fleets totaling almost 1500 BiLevel Commuter Cars!
