Capital MetroRail Vehicles
The Capital MetroRail trains were manufactured in Switzerland by Stadler Bussnang AG. Each of the six Diesel Multiple Unit (DMU) vehicles are self-propelled by two diesel-electric engines and will be able to start and stop faster than traditional commuter rail vehicles.
Our trains meet or exceed the strictest safety standards. The vehicles were built to include a fully-welded and safety-conscious body design and a closed-circuit television security system.
Sit back, relax and get ready for a smooth and quiet ride. Engine equipment is housed in a separate power car, effectively insulating the passengers from any noise or vibration.
