Sacramento
1986-1988 UTDC LRV #301-321
These cars are ex VTA
(San Jose) cars, purchased in 2003 when a fleet of low floors cars were put into
service with the VTA. VTA numbers were 801-821 and while the cars still carry
these numbers, 814 was partially painted on 1 end and received 314. In 2012
Siemens was awarded a contract to overhaul the cars and with an extension
opening in September hopefully these cars will return to service at that time.
On my brief visit to Sacramento I saw 1 car repainted and another car undergoing
work.
