North County Transit District (NCTD) in Oceanside, Calif., signed a $50 million contract with Siemens Transportation Systems for the purchase of 12 diesel multiple unit (DMU) light rail vehicles.
The Siemens Desiro model DMUs, which will be delivered in 2006, are a cross between traditional heavy passenger rail and electrically propelled light rail transit.
The low-emission diesel cars will be used on the NCTD's planned Sprinter rail project, which will connect the existing bus system as well as Coaster, Amtrak and Metrolink trains.
