Alstom announced that it has been awarded a contract by the Southern California Regional Rail Authority (Metrolink) to operate, service, and maintain their regional passenger rail system. The contract has a base term of five years, and will run from January 1, 2025, to June 30, 2030, employing more than 400 Alstom team members in Southern California. The contract allows for a potential three-year extension.
Alstom employees will continue to provide maintenance services for Metrolink and will now provide full operations services across the Metrolink system, totalling more than 545 service line miles. The Alstom team will mobilize more than 200 employees for the operation of Metrolink services beginning July 1, 2025.
The contract scope encompasses train operations and maintenance services, including train crewing and customer service, maintenance of the rolling stock fleet, and facilities maintenance, with an option for materials management. With this contract, Alstom consolidates its position as the leading private provider of Operations and Maintenance services in North America.
Alstom has provided maintenance for Metrolink for the past 26 years; this contract expands Alstom’s scope to also include operations of Metrolink’s rolling stock fleet in Southern California
A safe, convenient alternative to driving
Metrolink regional passenger rail service offers reliable, safe, affordable, and environmentally sustainable transportation throughout an interconnected six-county network. Metrolink has 545.6 total service line miles and 67 stations across Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, Ventura, and San Diego counties, connecting people, communities, and businesses and serving as an essential link in the region’s mobility landscape. The Metrolink service fleet consists of 258 passenger rail cars, including 57 cab cars and 201 coaches, and 60 locomotives.
The Metrolink transportation network also includes Arrow service, a nine-mile operation in San Bernardino County linking the cities of San Bernardino and Redlands powered by three Diesel Multiple Units (DMUs). In 2025, Metrolink will welcome North America’s first hydrogen-powered train, also known as a ZEMU (Zero Emission Multiple Unit) as part of its Arrow service. Alstom will not be responsible for DMU/ZEMU maintenance but will provide the operating crews and management for Arrow service.
