The Vorlon Transports are like living creatures. Each transport is linked to a Vorlon, when the Vorlon dies the transport commits suicide. This happened when Vorlon Ambassador Kosh died after a Shadow attack. His transport left Babylon 5 and flew into a sun. Several scans were made to examine Kosh's ship in docking bay 13 but none of them delivered a satisfying result. The workers in that bay didn't want to get closer to the ship than needed. They were scared of it because the ship entered their dreams when they were sleeping.
As said above, each ship is linked to a Vorlon. This might be the reason that some transports look a bit different in their colors. The ship of the new Vorlon Ambassador has a red skin while the ship of the old Ambassador Kosh had a more yellow/green skin color.
Although the Vorlon Transports are quite small compared to a cruiser, it is an extremely powerful ship. In contrast to the WhiteStar and several other bigger ships a single Vorlon Transport is capable of destroying a Shadow Battlecrab without any assistance.

Transport
Transport or transportation is the movement of people and goods from one place to another. The term is derived from the Latin trans ("across") and portare ("to carry"). Industries which have the business of providing equipment, actual transport, transport of people or goods and services used in transport of goods or people make up a large broad and important sector of most national economies, and are collectively referred to as transport industries.
