I'm not sure we will have the whole line electrified, the quote suggests they will end at Georgetown, which is where Metrolinx's ownership of the line ends. AFAIK CN will not permit electrification of their freight tracks, and Metrolinx has given up on purchasing CN's freight alignment from Georgetown on. So I'm guessing we'll still be using stupid dual mode locomotives.
