I'm curious if they plan on putting it into service anytime soon, or whether it'll just act as a spare.
It will definitely be put into service, as some of our early units have the same welding issues as the first 60 or so TTC streetcars and require significant disassembly for rework. They'll be taken out of service one at a time in order for this to happen. 515 exists to cover that gap, but we also get to keep it in the end as penance.
Do we know how many, exactly?
I thought they switched away from the Mexican fabs and started using La Pocatière components before too many in our run, only switching back after 514 to start the Crosstown run.
