Operating Fleet
The Orange Line is operated primarily with Morrison-Knudsen-built 3200-series rail cars which were delivered a year before the opening of the route. As of November 8, 2012, a small number of Boeing Vertol-built 2400-series rail cars (which were delivered between 1976 and 1978) are assigned to the line. Trains generally operate in 8-car consists during the peak periods, and 4-cars during other times of the day except for special events when 8-car trains may be required.

Famous quotes containing the words operating and/or fleet:
“... the modern drama, operating through the double channel of dramatist and interpreter, affecting as it does both mind and heart, is the strongest force in developing social discontent, swelling the powerful tide of unrest that sweeps onward and over the dam of ignorance, prejudice, and superstition.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
“Believe me, if all those endearing young charms,
Which I gaze on so fondly today,
Were to change by tomorrow, and fleet in my arms,
Like fairy-gifts fading away.”
—Thomas Moore (1779–1852)
