Los Angeles Metro oversees six rail routes within its Metro Rail network, which consists of four light rail lines and two rapid transit lines. The agency operates a total of 439 rail cars.

Current fleet

The Metro's rolling stock encompasses both light rail and rapid transit vehicles. The light rail fleet, deployed on the A, C, E, and K lines, features articulated, double-ended cars powered by overhead lines, commonly arranged in two- or three-car formations. Rapid transit cars, utilized on the B and D lines, are electric multiple unit married pairs powered via an electrified third rail, typically running in four- or six-car sets.

• A prospective facility proposed in either Bellflower or Paramount to support operations for the Southeast Gateway Line.
• A maintenance site envisioned in Montebello, bounded by Flotilla Street, Yates Avenue, South Vail Avenue, and Washington Boulevard, designed to support the extension of the E Line through the Eastside Transit Corridor Phase 2 project.
