CRRC delivers two locally made railcars to Boston officials

Rolling stock maker China Railroad Rolling Stock Corp achieved a major milestone in its global efforts after it handed over two locally produced railcars to Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) officials in Boston on Tuesday.

Stephanie Pollack, secretary of the Massachusetts Department of Transportation, said: "The two new railcars are the result of the systemic investments made over the past three years and are the first to be produced in the Massachusetts area and will ultimately lead to an entire fleet replacement. Part of the T's - the nickname for the Boston region transit authority - efforts to turn itself around and improve services includes rebuilding its culture from the inside out with a central focus on its customers."

The two Orange Line cars were made at China Railroad Rolling Stock Corp's factory in Springfield, Massachusetts.
