GO seems obvious, but the basic purpose of the infrastructure funding is to spur growth, so buying US-made locomotives doesn't help much. The cars are built by Bombardier, so that's better. $200M would buy maybe 50 more cars, but the provincial government would still need to fund the locomotives -- and any deficit in the operations.
