From SSP:

They are testing a six car Mk1 train today near Coquitlam Centre.

Taken by me.

It is so glorious to hear the wonderful sound of the Mk1 LIMs in Coquitlam.

Posted by MIPS on SSP:

There's a MK III that's been loitering on one of the side tracks at OMC for a few days now.

It must be one of the new arrivals as there's still plywood on the ends. Also, all of the windows in comparison to the MK II are massive.

Firefighter training in the Evergreen Extension tunnel:

A view of the progress in the tunnel:

(from https://twitter.com/iafflocal1782/status/763073484171845632)

So it looks like the power rail, running rails, and LIM reaction rail are installed, but I don't see the ATC cabling, radio cables, or side walkways.
