They are doing burn-in testing right now on 6 or more of the trains, and this week they will have up to 8 trains out at a time.

Are you 100% sure of this? And well before that date - when could it be then?

Barring anything major and unavoidable, the Regional staff that I've talked to have all said they aren't even considering anything past June 21st. Once the signals work is completed between Mill Crossover and Fairway Station it will be full steam ahead for testing. By then all the vehicles might be finished with burn-in and they will jump right in to service simulation. My personal guess is before the end of May.
