So I asked about the ION vehicle deliveries today:
The flatcar will be parked on the northbound mainline track just south of the Northfield station platform, and the ION vehicle will be offloaded with ramps. The yard tug (the diesel one, not the battery powered one that was sitting in the shop sans-cab today) will then tow it into the OMSF for commissioning.
Apparently the high speed mainline catenary has more ground clearance than the yard wiring, leaving plenty of room for a flatcar'd ION.
