The Nippon Sharyo P865/P2020 is an electric multiple unit light rail vehicle used on the Los Angeles County Metro Rail system. It was manufactured by Nippon Sharyo and is used on Metro's Blue and Expo Lines.

The trains feature automatic train control, air conditioning, emergency intercoms, wheelchair spaces and emergency braking.

Overhaul

edit

In late 2013, Metro awarded a 60-month fixed price contract to ORX to overhaul the powered axle assemblies for the then tewenty-three year old P865/P2020's.[2]

P2020

edit

The P2020, which was also produced by Nippon Sharyo for the LACMTA, is identical to the P865, except for the model number. A total of fifteen vehicles with that model number were delivered to Metro in 1994.[3]
