It is presumed the locomotive you saw, dh28473, was an older F40 variant, and not a new delivery.  GO is notorious for leasing out their equipment, and what you saw may (“may”) have been a short term lease movement to another commuter outfit.

Interestingly, just yesterday I was in Colton here in far away from Toronto southern California.  At the Colton Metrolink engine facility there was a green and white GO unit.  At least one GO unit has been running around on Metrolink.  Maybe the power and commuter car you saw was heading to another short term lease arrangement at an unknown somewhere.
