The P2000 is an articulated light rail car used on the Los Angeles County Metro Rail system. It was manufactured by Siemens Mobility and is used on Metro's A and C, and E Lines. It was previously used on the L Line between 2003 and 2011.
The trains feature automatic train control, automatic train operation for C Line service, air conditioning, emergency intercoms, wheelchair spaces and emergency braking.
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][3]
