The vehicle equipment bay(VEB) is often called the ‘brains’ of a launcher. Situated on top of the main cryogenic stage, it interfaces directly with the upper stage. The VEB is a big cylindrical "basket"... [It] can autonomously orchestrate all the systems required to control a flight for up to one hour, such as engine ignition, and separation of the boosters and the storable propellant upper stage. 5, record 1, English, - vehicle%20equipment%20bay

Ariane 5 Launcher. Propulsion for the main cryogenic stage is provided by a single Vulcain engine fed by cryogenic fuels-liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen-which are stored in two tanks separated by a common bulkhead. Engine thrust is transmitted through a thrustframe to the upper composite by means of the aft skirt, the tank walls and the stage's forward skirt. This frame, containing most equipment required for stage operation, constitutes the propulsion bay. The forward skirt also takes up the thrust of the two large solid boosters. 4, record 3, English, - propulsion%20bay

Empty equipment returning from terminal elevator unloads at Thunder Bay, the West Coast or Churchill, is moved to main classification yards at Calgary and Winnipeg(CP Rail) and Edmonton and Winnipeg(Canadian National). From there, trains of empties are directed to distribution yards in the quantities required by the Wheat Board shipping program to make up the various train runs that branch out from these yards. Each distribution yard serves several loading blocks.(...) Generally, the distribution points are where the train and engine crews are based. Depending on volume of traffic handled at these points, the number of crews vary from one to a sizable pool. 1, record 4, English, - distribution%20yard
