This isn't conclusive evidence, but all the Trillium Line rail I've seen was stamped 2001, and I was always under the impression that it was replaced in full (tunnels and bridges excepted) shortly after opening. When the line opened, it was jointed rail and service was every 20 minutes. Upgrading to CWR got them to the 15 minute service that lasted until the changes in 2013-2015.
