The first P2550s begin revenue service on the blue line

[@lametrorailfan]

Have you spotted a rare p2550 on the E Line even if they usually use P3010s? Also are P3010s more common than P2550s on the A Line?

[@rosaalvear5075]

The p2550 can not go on the e line due to it being heavier than intended

[@lametrorailfan]

@@rosaalvear5075no that was for the blue line but they upgraded the tracks?

[@nintenmetro]

I wanna see these run between Flower/23rd to Santa Monica.

[@LLocvsttt]

That might not happen until after 2028 since the E and K lines are gonna be very popular during the Olympics. The fancy looking trains will stay on those routes

[@alexanderbanos8125]

Wait, I thought LA Metro couldn't run the AnsaldoBreda P2550 light rail vehicles on the A Line (Blue) due to weight too brittle to resist on the bridges within the A Line route. Well I guess that the Blue/A Line redevelopment project did allow extra track strength in anticipation of the Regional Connector. Looks like both lines (A (Blue) and future E (Gold)) after RC opening will run both P2550's and Siemens P2000's along with the Kinkisharyo P3010's.

[@flattrain5834]

A is 2550 2000 and 3010. E is only 3010

[@alexanderbanos8125]

[@metrolaguy2210]

It’s funny how they said that they can’t be on the blue line as it’s “to heavy for the tracks” and then they just put these on the blue line. They will eventually put these on the expo line from what I heard.

[@flattrain5834]

They will only be on blue

[@theghostofmrcow1985]

Don't forget the p2550 has a high chance to make it in the k line and green line. Now that would be history in the making. 😊😊😊

[@sgtdebones]

I asked Metro to do a real-time cab view when the RC opens and actually got a positive response. We'll see if we got an official cab ride or not. Tri-Met and Chicago CTA did it with their systems already. I think Denver RTD and NYC MTA did too.

Its so weird seeing it on the A line!

[@MetrolinkFoamer]

Can't wait to board these in the future and see what it's like on the p2550 running on the blue line

[@sgtdebones]

Well you can do it now since pre-revenue testing is usually all the way until opening day.

[@TheRetiredTransitFanChannel]

We have unexpected witnessed one today at Compton Station which resulted of searching this video.

[@census3370]

They need a route display overhaul and new headlights. Other than that they’re my favorite LRV second to the P865 family.

[@Lucrativecris]

4:20 did they miscalculate?

[@tntmaster1104]

This might have to do with Regional Connector which in about in a few days will leave passengers on Platform 1 and pick up passengers on Platform 2 in 7th/Metro

[@sgtdebones]

"Might" 100% because of it.

If this is the case, I’ll probably check out the Blue line more. Love those high horns

[@sgtdebones]

I haven't seen them on the Blue Line since 2007, when they were being tested for the first time.

[@jeffreychan9476]

Thought they are overweight and could not be used on the blue line. Are there any P2550 and P2000 trains running on E Expo line lately? Also Gold Line riders be prepared for even more filthy trains and delays once the RC is opened. Although it is common on the Metro system, the blue line is by far the worst.

[@transitmallproductions1063]

Really great work

[@Skidodles]

I'm surprised as all the chatter I heard about the fate of the P2550s is that they'll transfer to the E Line only, due to the cars being too heavy for the A Line elevated crossings. I guess we we're wrong. Hopefully some make their way to the E Line.

[@sgtdebones]

706 and 739 were stored in Division 14 for a while.

I know these were heavier than intended, but they seem to run well along a straight path, I can imagine that the ride quality is excellent. I can’t wait to ride them.
