Peak vehicle
requirement for Orange Line is 96 cars (16 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

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.
Update:
In a change of plans, 3260 was rebuilt with new steel and sheet metal and not
with the removed rear section of 3262.

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

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

Winter 23.
Update: On
05/23/24 the MBTA Board approved an option with Rotem to purchase 41 additional
Blind Trailer Coaches to be delivered starting in 2026.

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. Overhaul will extend life of units by 20 years. Update: First completed unit (1054) due
back January 2019 and last by September 2019. Update: At FMCB Board meeting 01/14/2019 it was stated that the
MBTA intends to continue to pick-up the options in the contract and overhaul up
to an additional 26 locomotives for 36 total. All rebuilt units from both
classes will be re-designated as F40PH-3CUpdate:
On 04/29/2019 the FMCB formally authorized the full option plus one additional
unit with MPI to rebuild 27 additional locomotives for $78 million. With this
additional contract, all 37 F40PH-2C and F40PHM-2C will be rebuilt as F40PH-3C
locomotives by December 2021: Update:
The overhaul of MP36 locomotives 010 and 011 was added to the contract in early
2021.

1051, 1053, 1055, 1058, 1071, 1072. As the MPI program has now been expanded,
there will be no additional in-house overhauls of F40PH-2C/F40PHM-2Cs. Keolis
will instead perform major engine repairs on GP40MCs as required. Units

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.

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,

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.

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. Parts of one
