Santiago Metro - Rolling Stock

Rolling Stock

The Santiago Metro currently operate 6 models of rolling stock, one model (the AS 02) is steel-wheeled, while the others are all rubber-tyred. The NS 74 and NS 93 stock are based off the MP 73 and MP 89 stock of the Paris Metro respectively. All rubber-tyred stock are preceded with the acronym NS (for Neumático Santiago). The number reprsenting each type of rubber-tyred and steel-wheeled rolling stock is the year of design of a particular rolling stock, not year of first use, similar to the practice in the Mexico City Metro and Paris Métro. Also, all train types use forced-air circulation as they are not fitted with air-conditioning, unlike in many other metro systems.

In September 2012, the NS 2012 trains went into service on Line 1. These trains are the first to have air conditioning .

Famous quotes containing the words rolling and/or stock:

“He wrote me sad Mother’s Day stories. He’d always kill me in the stories and tell me how bad he felt about it. It was enough to bring a tear to a mother’s eye.”
—Connie Zastoupil, U.S. mother of Quentin Tarantino, director of film Pulp Fiction. Rolling Stone, p. 76 (December 29, 1994)

“In the case of our main stock of well-worn predicates, I submit that the judgment of projectibility has derived from the habitual projection, rather than the habitual projection from the judgment of projectibility. The reason why only the right predicates happen so luckily to have become well entrenched is just that the well entrenched predicates have thereby become the right ones.”
—Nelson Goodman (b. 1906)
