Hey drum, nice to see you over here!
I asked about the vehicle deliveries too at the open house. My understanding is that there won't be a permanent ramp built, rather just that the flatcar will be parked on the ION mainline south of the Northfield platforms, and the vehicle rolled down temporary ramp/rails onto the mainline itself. The diesel powered yard 'tug' (not the battery powered one we saw indoors at the open house) will then push (or tow, not sure which) the vehicle into the OMSF for commissioning.
