Notes/references

The P2000 is an articulated light rail vehicle used on the Los Angeles Metro Rail system, manufactured by Siemens-Duewag. The P2000 trains were ordered to supplement the fleet of the C Line, then known as the Green Line. P2000 trains continue to operate on the C Line as of 2024^[update], and are expected to operate for an additional 15 years following an overhaul program that began in 2020.^[3]
