Late June is still possible. Bombardier would have to negotiate with CN for more local switcher time though, which they would have to do anyways once the Metrolinx and Edmonton Freedoms and TTC Flexity Outlooks start rolling off the line.
If they have more of the specialized flat cars the timeline could be sped up. Imagine 3 special flat cars (and 4 regular ones as spacers) taking a one-week round trip. The remaining ones could all be delivered over the course of a month. I have no idea if this is planned, but with the number of vehicles to be delivered for Metrolinx I suspect they will want more than one delivery car.
