The new Type 6 trains, made by Siemens, share some of the same characteristics as their Type 5 predecessors. They’re the same length (96 feet, 11 inches) and width (8 feet, 8 inches). They have slightly less capacity due to having operator cabs at both ends, which means the “parlor” style seating is gone, resulting in a loss of several seats. But, they’re still high-capacity trains, with room for 168 riders (336 riders when two are coupled).
Some of the trains’ new features will be seen and experienced by riders, while others are working behind the scenes to keep the trains running with the latest technology. Here are some of the improvements on the new Type 6 MAX trains:
