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:
“I think there are innumerable gods. What we on earth call God is a little tribal God who has made an awful mess. Certainly forces operating through human consciousness control events.”
—William Burroughs (b. 1914)
“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)
