The Siemens P2000 is an electric multiple unit light rail car used on the Los Angeles County Metro Rail system. It was manufactured by Siemens AG and is used on Metro's Blue and Green, and Expo Lines.
The trains feature automatic train control, air conditioning, emergency intercoms, wheelchair spaces and emergency braking.
Overhaul[edit]
In June 2013, Metro awarded a fixed price contract to PAMCO Machine Works in Monrovia, California to overhaul the powered axle assemblies for the then eleven year old P2000's.[2]
