The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) operates six rail lines as part of its Metro Rail system. This system includes 4 light rail lines and 2 heavy rail lines. Metro's heavy-rail lines (the Red and Purple Lines) run electric multiple unit cars, powered by electrified third rail. These trains typically run in six-car consists. All of Metro's heavy-rail cars are A650's built by Breda in Italy. The acceleration for cars #530 and up is similar to that of the cars used by the Washington Metro because they both use General Electric traction motors. Metro's light rail lines (the Blue, Green, Gold, & Expo Lines) utilize articulated double-ended cars, powered by overhead catenary lines. Trains run in sets of 1 to 3 cars, as needed. ==Rail vehicles== Metro Rail has used several types of rail vehicles since its first line opened in 1990. Notes: 1 Car 109 is in a silver livery. This car and Car 148 were originally painted red for the anniversary of the Pacific Electric Railway ((109 ), (148 )) As of August 2013, Car 148 debuted a new livery featuring "bold reflective yellow markings and white super-graphics overlaid onto painted cool greys … intended for the entire rail fleet."〔http://thesource.metro.net/2013/08/13/restyled-train-car-sighting/〕 2 The P2020 vehicle was originally purchased for the Green Line, and although carrying a different model number than the P850 they are nearly identical, except for the difference in age. These cars were added to the Metro Blue Line in 2000. 3 Originally intended to run on the Green Line, it is capable of fully automated operation which is only possible on the Green Line since it is fully grade separated. 4 As of March 6, 2010, cars 701, 704–731, 736, and 737 have been delivered and are in service. 5 Metro Blue Line (added in 2006), Green Line, and Gold Line (added in 2004) trains feature automated station announcements while operators announce stops on some Red and Purple Line trains as the system is slowly being installed on the subway cars. 6 Cars 603 and 604 are in new livery, which is all silver and has the white "Metro Rail" printing on the cars. These cars are similar to Metro Rail vehicles 105, 302, and the 700 series cars. 7 Car 243 sustained burns from an accident on September 21, 2007 while operating on the Gold Line but has returned to service onto the Green Line. 8 The deal for the option order has not been signed.
