I found the location and it's here. Sorry, I must be missing something. Why would this location be a former TBM yard?

It's where they brings the parts off the ship to re-assemble the 2 TBMs and test them.
If your question is why this location then I have no more insight.

They're using some kind of mini cement truck at Osgoode Station.

these are neat little things they're designed for tight spaces like tunnels and mines and other low clearance or hard to access areas. They don't hold much, 5.5 m³, but for these kinds of projects you make sacrifices for the agility they provide.

Hot Wheels should make a model. of it. (He said jokingly; I used to work in a grocery store, and kids would pick up Hot Wheels cars hanging on hooks throughout the store, and leave them all over the shelves; we came to hate those things!)

Was it likely waiting to be dropped down the hole by a crane? That would be fun to see.

Hopefully not with the cement already inside!

You can actually see different pieces of equipment from this company in use in this BlogTO article.
Like these low clearance dump trucks
On the left at the end of the cavern is another of these cement mixers

Ex Station North entrance site. They're building a crane that will run on rails East/West.
Based on what the crane rail site looked like a month ago, the black squares seen in this photo will be for the rails for the crane, presumably after the bridge comes down next year unless a 2nd one is coming.

Eastern bridge/transit hub:

Nice! Tricky shot to capture. I know, because I couldn't quite get it.
Thanks! Yeah, it's a tight area. This photo is cropped in a bit too.

Just an update, i've gone ahead and proposed the name "The Secrecy" for the TBMs. I believe this would definitely be the most appropriate name.
They ask for your reasoning why when submitting a name proposal, and there's certainly no shortage of reasons we would give for this name.
