From what I understand, Siemens, the manufacturer, was taking it around the continent to their clients as a demonstration unit. So, it was probably more a case of Siemens phoning CT up and saying, "hey, we have this new unit and will do a free demo for you" and CT going "yeah sure, may as well check it out."
Calgary runs Siemens' U2 model (pre-2001 units) and their SD160 model (2001-onward). Siemens also manufactures LRV units for lots of other cities including Edmonton, Denver, Portland, Sacramento, San Jose, Salt Lake City, Charlotte and San Diego.
