F59s. (This is as bad as getting people to distinguish the different F40s, such as F40C, F40PH[R], F40PH-2[CAT], even the almost-unique-looking F40PHM ["almost" because the F69PH-AC has a similar exterior].)

True, the F59PHI was not the best thought out locomotive...the beginning of the series, GO Transit's F59PH, is getting replaced after less than 15 years of service—one factor there is the Toronto winter environment, but really the series ain't all that tough.

Hoggers (reportedly) hate the PHI because they were delivered without windshield washers so there's no way to wash off dirt other than to do it manually or wait for a rainstorm.

You mean 3 million dollars and no wipers. Talk about the fleecing of America. I hope that the Gennies at least had wipers as standard.

No, they have wipers, but no washers. Not feasible to dry-wipe your windshield when you get dirt on it.
