La Metro Breda A650
La Metro Breda A650
In 1993 the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LACMTA) opened it’s first subway line. The vehicles used were the A650s, made in Italy by Breda. Those vehicles still serve the red (B) and purple (D) lines as of today, but are showing their age and are going to be replaced in the next years with modern subway cars.
There are always two cars permanently married together, so they usually operate as four or six-car trains.
