Passenger Trains > Metrolink to Lease EquipmentDate: 12/17/03 23:57 Metrolink to Lease Equipment Author: David.Curlee Rumor has it that Metrolink intends to lease Sounder Transit bi-level commuter cars during the first half of 2004. Negotiations are supposedly in progress. How many cars and for what duration is unknown to me. Mundo, or anyone else, what have you heard?

There was something electrically incompatible, maybe 550 volt vs. 650 volt systems on the cars themselves.

That's why the Go equipment used down here after the Northridge quake had HEP units.
TCS - sounder seasickness paint scheme .... yay. |
