The P2000 is an articulated light rail vehicle used on the Los Angeles Metro Rail system, manufactured by Siemens-Duewag. The P2000 trains were ordered to supplement the fleet of the C Line, then known as the Green Line. P2000 trains originally serviced the Gold Line, but were later transferred to the Blue Line (now A Line) in 2012.
P2000 trains continue to operate on the A Line as of 2024[update], and are expected to operate for an additional 15 years following an overhaul program that began in 2020.[3]
