The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) contracted with China Railway Rolling Stock Corp. to build 64 new railcars for the Metro Red and Purple Lines, a major procurement that will bring new manufacturing jobs to the Los Angeles region and help Metro maintain and expand its subway system.
Metro’s Notice To Proceed kick starts production of HR4000 heavy rail vehicles that will be used to replace existing trains now traveling between downtown Los Angeles, Mid-Wilshire District, and North Hollywood.
