ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit

Module order is A-D-C-E-B, with bogies in modules A, B, and C.  Modules D and E are without wheels and supported by their neighbours.  It is worth noting that this nomenclature is only valid for the 5-module variant; not the 3 or 7.  In other words, you can't just benignly say "a C module is always a short, intermediate one with a bogie and no doors", because on the 3-module variant you'd have A-C-B, and C would be the same as a 5-module's D or E.

I don't think they will ever swap out a module on-site at Dutton.  If a train gets hit by a car, and the damage is more than superficial, it'll likely go back to Bombardier for them to swap it out.

Thanks for the detailed information and photos. Much appreciated!
