So they definitely have at least two flatcars used for this purpose.
According to this post on UrbanToronto there are three transporters for the TTC cars.
Given that there are 7 cars due to ship for the TTC next month (when the second line in Thunder Bay starts to deliver), I would assume that there is at least one dedicated car for Ion that's independent of the other three. They're a relatively simple modification of a standard TTX flatcar, so I wouldn't see any need to make a dual-gauge transporter that gets kicked back and forth between Kingston and Thunder Bay.
