It would be interesting to see if the Edmonton cars even fit on a flatcar. Their vehicles are two modules longer, and certainly won't fit on the flatcars used for the Ion and Eglinton Crosstown vehicles.

Not very. The flatcars used for the Ion LRVs and TTC streetcars are just standard cars from the TTX rental pool with two rails and a collapsible stowage box welded to their decks. When all this is over they'll grind off the welds and return them to the pool.
