Let's just hope once GO gets the electric locos they don't just store them for almost 2 years with little usage!

Of course they will, for good reason. I would look to California for a case study. There will be a need to deliver and commission the whole electrified infrastructure, likely with one or more locos arriving early for break-in and familiarisation. The operating parameters will have to be verified with some period of test operation. There will have to be enough units on hand for training, stress testing of the system, and then opening day. Delivering the rolling stock good and early is just good planning, even if they sit around for a bit. This is not a situation where “just in time” is prudent.
For the first part of the equipment procurement, a two year lead time is probably not unrealistic.

Why second last coach, though?

Since you like horn, this should be up your alley as to the various types of RR horns

Which is why (for me) the obvious Alstom product is the one already on North American roads - ALP-46 - rather than reworking Prima but then finding the reworked design has bugs.

I've seen this before. Pretty cool to see all the variety.
