Rolling Stock
In September 2011, LAMATA announced that it would acquire 255 H5 and H6 series subway cars from Toronto, Canada's public transit operator, Toronto Transit Commission (TTC), which are being decommissioned to make way for the TTC's new articulated Toronto Rocket series subway cars that are being introduced. The H5s and H6s are to be refurbished and converted to international gauge in the United States before being shipped and put into service on the new Lagos Light Rail's Blue and Red lines.

Famous quotes containing the words rolling and/or stock:
“... in the cities there are thousands of rolling stones like me. We are all alike; we have no ties, we know nobody, we own nothing. When one of us dies, they scarcely know where to bury him.... We have no house, no place, no people of our own. We live in the streets, in the parks, in the theatres. We sit in restaurants and concert halls and look about at the hundreds of our own kind and shudder.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
“I met a Californian who would
Talk California—a state so blessed
He said, in climate, none had ever died there
A natural death, and Vigilance Committees
Had had to organize to stock the graveyards
And vindicate the state’s humanity.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
