Found it by accident this morning at the CNE loop. I was trying to get a picture of the GO Train and saw it in the viewfinder

Its a new streetcar on an CNE streetcar siding. But I can't see the streetcar's number.

It's 4401. It's visible in the original raw image but that one's been cropped and shrunk.

According to Steve Munro, at this link:

Delivery of the first production car, 4403, has been delayed until late April according to the TTC’s Brad Ross, but the rate of production can be ramped up by Bombardier. In any event, 510 Spadina will operate with new cars effective August 31, 2014.
