GO Transit's new (old-looking) locomotives

I don't pass near the GO Transit rail line along the lakeshore very often, so seeing a new locomotive on the end of a train was a mild surprise to me. What I originally thought when I saw it was that GO had somehow decided to rebuild the old Ontario Northland TEE trainsets:

The newly delivered locomotive on delivery in June 2007. Built by MotivePower Industries, formerly known as Morrison-Knudson.

The former TEE trainset used by Ontario Northland for their Northlander service.
