Peak vehicle requirement for Orange Line is 72 cars (12 six-car trains)

New Red and Orange Line Cars: The MBTA requested bids for 152 new #14 Orange Line cars and 74 #4 Red Line cars with an option to purchase 58 additional Red Line cars. Bids were received 05/15/2014. Both groups of cars will be stainless-steel cars, configured as A-car/B-car married pairs; the A car will have a control cab at one end while the B-car will have no cabs. The Orange Line cars will replace the entire existing Orange Line fleet while the initial group of Red Line cars will replace the #1 car fleet, and the option order will replace the #2 car fleet. Final assembly in Massachusetts is required. The MBTA reported receiving six proposals. Proposals were received from CNR-Changchun Railway Vehicles, CSR, Rotem, CAF, Kawasaki, and Bombardier (Springfield MA media incorrectly reported that Alstom also submitted a proposal). CAF proposal was non-responsive because it did not meet performance guarantee requirement. CSR proposal was later dismissed because it did not meet the technical requirements. Final evaluation was between CNR, Rotem, Kawasaki, and Bombardier.

Update: On 10/22/2014, the MBTA Board of Directors approved a $566 million contract with CNR MA, a joint venture of China CNR Corp and CNR Changchun Railway Vehicles, to build 152 Orange Line cars and 132 Red Line cars. Initial Orange Line cars would be delivered in 2018, Red Line cars in October 2019, with full order completed by 2023. The cars will feature Mitsubishi Electric propulsion equipment.

Update: In January 2015, CNR and CSR agreed to merge to form CRRC Corp.

Update: On 12/12/2016, The MBTA Control Board approved a negotiated sole source procurement for $249 million with CRRC for 120 additional Red Line #4 cars (plus spare parts and technical support) with options for 14 additional cars. The additional contract brings the total number of cars on order from CRRC to 152 Orange Line cars and 252 Red Line cars with options for 14 additional Red Line cars (266 total Red Line cars if option is exercised). The additional 120 cars will be delivered by 2023 and will allow the replacement of the 86 car #3 car fleet as well as expansion of the total fleet.

Update: First four Orange Line pilot cars arrived December 20, 2017 to begin up to one year of non-revenue testing before production car deliveries begin. Additional four pilot cars (1400-1403) arrived from China in August 2018. Target for first revenue service with four of the eight pilot cars is summer 2019. Production deliveries from Springfield began with a pair (1404-1405) arriving at end of December 2018 bringing the total cars on property to 10 at the end of 2018, with 2 more pairs arriving by the end of June 2019 and a pair in August for a total of 16 cars delivered to that point (1400-1411 and four unnumbered pilot cars). The first pair of unnumbered pilot cars delivered in 2017 was returned to CRRC in summer 2019 to be upgraded to production cars. The second unnumbered pilot pairs were sent to Red Line 07/19 for training, these will eventually also be returned to CRRC for completion, the cars were being prepared for transport to Springfield in April 2021 and moved in fall 2021. 1412/1413 delivered 11/2019., and 1414/1415, 1426/1427 Feb 20,

First revenue service with 1402-1407 began on 08/14/2019.

Update: First six Red Line pilot cars (1900-1905) arrived 10/08/2019-10/22/2019 for testing. Cars entered revenue service 12/30/2020.

Update: At 06/22/2020 board meeting it was stated that MBTA is working on a recovery plan with CRRC to resume construction and deliveries. 1428/1429 and 1416/1417 delivered/in testing 07/20, 1418/1419 delivered 08/20, 1420/1421 delivered 11/20, 1422/1423 and 1424/1425 01/21, 1430/1431 02/21, 1436/1437 06/21, 1432/1433, 1434/1435, 1440/1441 07/21, 1438/1439, 1442/1443, 1444/1445 08/21, 1446/1447, 1448/1449, 1452/1453 09/21, 1450/1451, 1454/1455 10/21, 1456/1457, 1458/1459 11/21, 1460/1461 12/21, 1462/1463, 1466/1467, 03/22 1464/1465, 1468/1469, 1470/1471 04/22 1472/1473 05/22, 1474/1475, 1476/1477 06/22. 1478/1479 and 1480/1481 in Feb 23, 1482/1483 and 1484/1485 in March 23, 1486/1487 and 1488/1489 in April 23, 1490/1491 and 1492/1493 in June, 1494/1495 in August, 1500/1501 in October, 1496/1497 and 1498/1499 anticipated in November/December 23

MBTA received bids which closed 08/2017 to replace trucks and propulsion equipment on 8 PCC cars. One bid was received from Brookville. Notice to proceed has been given, the kits will arrive by late 2018 and the upgrade to cars will be performed by MBTA staff at Everett and Mattapan. Pneumatic systems (brakes, doors, wipers, sanders) will be replaced with electric. Wrecked cars will provide parts to repair previously stored cars and eventually restore fleet to 8 cars. Cars 3260 and 3262 are considered wrecked beyond repair. 3234 and 3265, after body repairs at Everett, will have new components from Brookville installed at Mattapan by August 2019. 3238 returned to service in spring 2018 with parts from 3260 and 3262. After 3234 and 3265 are completed, all 6 additional active cars will receive body work at Everett and Brookville mechanical component installation work at Mattapan by 2022/2023. Update: The rear section of wrecked car 3262 is being removed to use for the reconstruction of car 3260, the remaining sections of car 3262 will then be scrapped. Cars entering the program at Everett will first be shipped to a separate contractor facility at Costello Dismantling in Middleborough to remove lead paint.

4 additional uncompleted Type 8 shells and the damaged sections of original car 3807 are stored at Orient Heights (formerly stored at Everett).

New Cars:

Type 10s

The MBTA has requested bids for 165 Type 10s with options for up to 61 additional cars. Proposals are due 08/11/2020. The proposed design calls for a 7-section, 112-ft long car with a 100% low-floor passenger area or a five-section car that may contain high-floor sections at the ends. Both designs permit an isolated operators cabin which may be high-floor. Type 10s will only operate in trains with other Type 10s, but will have anti-climbers and folding couplers compatible with Type 7s, 8s, and 9s for emergency towing or pushing. The contract includes an option for the builder to be responsible for scrapping all Type 7s and Type 8s. The initial procurement will replace two-car trains of Type 7s and Type 8s with single-car Type 10s. Later options will provide enough Type 10s to operate two-car trains initially on the D and E lines and later on the B and C lines. Delivery of four pilot vehicles would be 43 months after a contract is awarded. Delivery of production vehicles would begin 4.5 years after a contract is awarded and be completed 9 years after contract is awarded. Update 06/21: Final proposals are now due on July 14, 2021. Contract award may take place by summer 2022, First pilot would arrive in 2026 and deliveries take place between 2027 and 2032. Proposed base order has been reduced to 102 cars with options up to 124 additional. The base will provide enough equipment to replace all Type 7s and Type 8s but only provide for operation of single Type 10s to replace two-car trains of Type 7s and Type 8s on all four lines. Type 9s would remain to provide additional peak service with two-car trains. Initial options could be exercised later to provide enough equipment to operate two-car trains of Type 10s on the D and E lines , and further options would need to be exercised to operate two-car trains on the B and C.

Update 08/31/2022:

The MBTA Board approved a $810 million contract with CAF for 102 Type 10s to fully replace the Type 7 and Type 8 fleets. The first four pilot cars will be delivered in 2026 and production delivery will begin at a rate of two cars per month in 2027 through 2031. The cars will be a 7-module design with a 100% low-floor passenger area and isolated raised operator cabs. The carbody shells will be manufactured in Elmira NY. Siemens and Alstom had also submitted bids that did not score as well as CAF’s proposal.

Future Order for New Coaches:

The MBTA anticipates issuing an RFP later in 2019 for 180-220 new bi-level cars which would replace all existing active single level cars. The MBTA issued a Request for Information in February 2019 to get feedback from potential manufacturers before issuing a formal Request for Proposals (RFP).

Update: The MBTA approved a $345 million sole source procurement with Rotem for 80 coaches (40 cab control cars and 40 blind trailers with restrooms) on 09/23/2019. First coaches will be delivered by 2022 with order completed in 2024. Coaches will be fully assembled in South Korea, and funded 100% with state funds. These coaches are in addition to the proposed RFP for 200 coaches. Update: The final contract was increased to 83 coaches (43 cab cars 1828-1870 and 40 blind trailers 847-886).

Update: As part of the “Forging Ahead” initiative the MBTA is proposing to postpone an RFP for 181 additional bi-level cars, however the existing order with Rotem for 83 cars will continue as planned. 847, 848, 1828, and 1829 arrived in Rochester MA in June 2022 to begin acceptance testing, next group of four followed in July 2022, four additional arrived Oct 2022, four additional arrived in Nov 2022, three additional in December 2022, five cars in January 2023, four cars in March 2023. Deliveries will continue at approximately four per month into 2024. First four in final testing to enter revenue service in Winter 23.

Potential locomotive overhaul programs: In June 2016, the MBTA requested letters of interest from firms that may be interested in overhauling a minimum of 10 F40PH-2C and F40PHM-2C locomotives. The MBTA may issue an RFP for a program in August 2016. As part of a presentation to the MBTA Control Board in June 2016, MBTA staff identified potential programs to remanufacture 10 stored locomotives to extend the service life 15-20 years; to overhaul 10 active locomotives to extend the service life 10-15 years; and to replace major components on 10 active locomotives (30 locomotives total). Update: The MBTA has requested bids to overhaul 10 F40PH-2C/F40PHM-2C locomotives with an option to overhaul 26 additional locomotives (36 total). The overhaul is expected to extend the service life by 10 years minimum without future component overhauls, and 20 years maximum with future component overhauls, but units will not be considered remanufactured. Loco 1056 is not included in the total of 36. Proposals are due 02/16/2017. Update: MBTA cancelled bids for overhaul program on 02/03/2017 Update: MBTA intends to issue new RFP later in 2017 to overhaul 10 F40PH-2C/F40PHM-2Cs and 2 GP40MCs Update: The MBTA has again requested bids to overhaul 10 F40PH-2C/F40PHM-2C locomotives; the bid closing date is 05/12/2017. Update: On 06/19/17, the MBTA FMCB voted on a $26.8 million contract with Motive Power Industries to overhaul 10 F40PH-2C and F40PHM-2C locomotives. Contract includes options to overhaul up to 26 additional units. The five units stored in Kingston MA will be the first shipped to Boise. First completed unit is due back in March 2018.

Chronology of Type 8 events

January 31, 1998-Pilot car 3800 was delivered; non-revenue tests began 03/02/98.

March 24, 1999-Type 8s enter revenue service on Riverside line.

November 21 1999-Type 8s removed from service because of poor braking performance, the active fleet consisted of 5 cars when the fleet was withdrawn

April 27, 2000-Type 8s returned to revenue service on Riverside, Commonwealth, and Beacon St. lines

July 12, 2000-Type 8s removed from service following several derailments on Riverside line, the active fleet consisted of 7 cars when the fleet was withdrawn.

April 26, 2001-Type 8s return to service on Commonwealth Ave line following track improvements.

August 20, 2001-Type 8s removed from service following three derailments (two in the subway, one on Commonwealth Ave.), the active fleet consisted of 17 cars when the fleet was withdrawn.

March 22, 2003-Type 8s return to service on Commonwealth Ave. following track improvements and changes to both wheel and track profiles.

May 31, 2003-Type 8s removed from service following derailment of 3846 at Hynes Convention Center station. Type 8s however returned to service the following Monday (06/02/03). Media reports indicated a washer, part of the stub-axle assembly on the center truck, was loose resulting in the wheel of the right #3 axle of 3846 leaving the rail. Type 8 fleet returned to service on 06/02/03 after inspections, and “only” two other cars were found to have the same problem. Later in the week by Friday 06/06/03 additional inspections took place and there were no Type 8s spotted in service on Friday 06/06/03 or Saturday 06/07/03. Cars were back in service on 06/08/03.

December 11, 2003-Revenue operation of Type 8s on Beacon St. resumed for first time since July 2000.

March-June 2004: No Type 8s were accepted during this period, accepting new cars for service resumed in June. No additional cars were delivered after March. Multiple reliability problems continued.

July/August 2004: Cars 3801, 3815, and 3817 were delivered. These were the first cars delivered since March 2004.

August 20, 2004-Type 8s began operating to North Station and began operating in revenue service for the first time on E Heath St.-Huntington Ave. service. Cars can now operate in regular service on all lines except D Riverside. Operation of Type 8s on D Riverside line will require the completion of additional track repair work. Cars can make non-revenue moves between Reservoir and Riverside carhouses.

August 22, 2004-Cars 3806 and 3841 derailed at Northeastern outbound. All trucks on both cars left the rail. The center truck of the lead car (3806) came onto the platform. Derailment occurred after only 2.5 days of Type 8 operation on Huntington Ave. line. The initial incident occurred just after 11:00 AM and the press reported one non life-threatening injury to a passenger. Rerailing effort lasted into the evening. Car 3841 derailed a second time at Park St. station while being towed to Reservoir carhouse for initial post-accident inspection and investigation. Cars were restricted to service on Commonwealth Ave. only after this derailment.

September 2004-Acceptance of cars stopped after 3864 entered service.

October 28, 2004-Car 3827 derailed at the turn-back beyond North Station under the Fleet Center.

December 12,2004-In a Boston Globe article, the MBTA announced that they were halting the contract with Breda because of poor car reliability and a lack of response from Breda to correct problems. No more cars were to be delivered beyond the 40 accepted cars, 5 unaccepted production cars, and the original two pilot cars. The MBTA will work directly with suppliers to modify 10 cars to improve reliability as part of a pilot program to modify and retain these 47 cars. The article suggested that if problems cannot be resolved with Breda, then the MBTA could be interested in negotiating a new contract with another builder, possibly Kinki-Sharyo, to buy enough additional new cars required to retire the Boeing fleet. It was not certain if the possible new order would be for a new low-floor design or for more Type 7s. Ordering Type 7s would require using wayside lift or ramp devices as the permanent, rather than interim, means of wheelchair access. The last Type 8 cars delivered were in August 2004, while no additional cars have been accepted since September 2004. The article also stated it was unclear if the Type 8s could ever run in revenue service on the Riverside line again because of the higher operating speeds and the possibility of derailments.

April 2005-Car 3869 was accepted, remaining unaccepted cars already on MBTA property are expected to be accepted.

October 2005: The number of cars to be modified has been increased from 10 to 20, later increased to 42.

Cars modified to improve reliability: 3802, 3803, 3804, 3805, 3806, 3808, 3809, 3810, 3811, 3812, 3813, 3814, 3816, 3819, 3820, 3821, 3822, 3823, 3824, 3825, 3827, 3834, 3840, 3841, 3846, 3847, 3854, 3855, 3857, 3858, 3859, 3861, 3862, 3863, 3864, 3866, 3867, 3868, 3869, 3870, 3875

November 2005: Car 3874 was delivered to the MBTA, the first new Type 8 delivered since August 2004. The MBTA has apparently reached a compromise agreement with Breda to accept a total of 85 Type 8s. The shells of the remaining 15 incomplete cars may also be acquired by the MBTA for parts. Regular deliveries and acceptance testing are expected to resume.

December 2005: The MBTA officially announced the agreement with Breda to accept a total fleet of 85 cars. Deliveries are expected to be completed by January 2007.

January 31. 2006: Type 8 operation on Beacon St. resumed.

December 30, 2006: Type 8 operation to Heath St. resumed for first time since brief operation in 2004, Type 8 service to Lechmere resumed for first time since 2000.

mid-2007: MBTA reached agreement to complete 10 out of the remaining 15 car shells. Total fleet to reach 95 with deliveries of the 10 cars starting in August 2007 and completed by January 2008. 5 shells to remain at Everett shops as spares to repair any future damaged cars.
