Los Angeles Metro Rail rolling stock

Los Angeles Metro operates six rail lines as part of its Metro Rail system. This system includes four light rail lines and two rapid transit lines. The agency owns, operates, and maintains a fleet of 439 rail vehicles.

Rail vehicles

Metro operates two main types of rail vehicles: light rail and rapid transit. Metro's light rail vehicles, used on the A, C, E, and K lines, are articulated double-ended vehicles, powered by overhead lines, which typically run in two or three vehicle consists. Metro's rapid transit vehicles, used on the B and D lines, are electric multiple unit, married-pair cars, powered by electrified third rail, that typically run in four or six-car consists.

Metro refers to its rail and bus operations facilities as "divisions." Rail vehicles are maintained at several divisions across Los Angeles County:

Division	Line	Location
11		Long Beach, between and stations
14		Santa Monica, east of station
16		Westchester, adjacent to the
20		Arts District, south of Union Station
21		Elysian Park, between and stations
22		Hawthorne, northwest of station
24		Monrovia, east of station

Metro plans to build three new rail facilities over the next few years.

A new facility will be built in the San Fernando Valley west of Van Nuys Boulevard south of the Metrolink tracks as part of the planned East San Fernando Valley Light Rail Transit Project.
A new facility is being studied for either Bellflower or Paramount to support operations on the Southeast Gateway Line.
A new facility will be built in Montebello, bound by Flotilla Street to the north, Yates Avenue to the west, South Vail Avenue to the east, and Washington Boulevard to the south to serve the Eastside Transit Corridor Phase 2 project, which extends the E Line to the intersection between Washington Boulevard and South Greenwood Avenue.
