ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
Gah, I wonder what they're up to?  So strange that all of a sudden in multiple locations they start digging/jackahammering a bunch of finished infra... on a Friday?  Usually when something like this happens, it starts on a Monday - probably how they have it blocked out on their Gantt Chart or whatever.   Crew X starts here for Week 105-108, etc...

So, it looks like I'm wrong on my naming convention for the modules on our LRV's. It's a fair bit different:

   

So, using this nomenclature it's either Modules A-D-C and then E-B that have yaw only, and the interface between C-E is what has pitch as well (and maybe some roll?). Or the other way around, A-D/B-E-C. Huh I don't like that! I guess if you were going to build a 3, or a 5, or a 7 module variant, that's how you'd name it... you always have an A, a B, and a C... and then you add a D and an E if you have 5 modules, and add a further F and G if you have 7 (Edmonton's Valley Line trains will be 7).

I'm also further guessing that maybe the TTC FLEXITY Outlooks just had A-B-C-D-E from the nose to tail that I saw in the manuals since they're unidirectional and a one-off custom product for Toronto...

(Also: that is not a very pretty HMI!)
