For the Rohrs, and the 2000 and 3000 Bredas, we need to separate out the facts/figures for these cars as originally delivered, vs. how they exist rehabilitated. I'll play with it some more when I get home, but I just thought I'd throw that one out there. I plan on doing some more reworking on the article when I get home as well.

I rearranged the article a little bit - what do you think? SchuminWeb ( Talk) 09:16, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
I think it would be great to add some detail on what makes the particular braking sounds. It seems to be a hot topic on YouTube to speculate what makes the noise: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=is5vzJPBksQ ("electrical reversal in which the motors are braking speed to stop the train"), http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6dc5JdMgd0 ("the sounds come from devices called GTO thyristors, which feed pulses (the gear changing sounds) of current to the traction motors") Bajenkins ( talk) 04:00, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
This question is mainly directed at Fan Railer, but if anyone knows: Where does it show that Alstom won the bid for the 7000's? From what I can tell, bids have been requested, but no winning bid has been named. SchuminWeb ( Talk) 01:54, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Washington Metro rolling stock. CAF specs show a floor heght of 1,000 mm (39.37 in) and Ansaldobreda specs a floor height of 40 in (1,016 mm), so 38+1⁄2 inches (978 mm) is phantasy. Peter Horn User talk 02:24, 22 December 2012 (UTC)
Rehabilitation is a very odd word to use here. Wouldn't refurbishment be more appropriate? 82.46.109.233 ( talk) 08:56, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
There's a great deal of text talking about tests from some years back as if they are still ongoing. Mangoe ( talk) 20:57, 3 September 2014 (UTC)
The section for the 7000 series trains needs to go into a separate article. J4lambert ( talk) 19:16, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

I saw in the article that the 8000 series was going to be the replacement for some of the older stock. Cited in a PDF from 2008. I also found that the "money train" cars were renumber to the first four spots in the 8000 series. I'd like to update that section and also include a section about the TGV or Pickle. Do you think it should be in this article or in the main DC Metro article? Chuckbenson ( talk) 17:43, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
The summary table does not match the cited numbers of trains in service, and seems to represent original research. Are there any references for these numbers Zr2d2 ( talk) 13:56, 25 February 2017 (UTC)

Does anyone have a citation for the number of 7000-series cars that are currently in service? Daybeers ( talk) 00:17, 17 November 2017 (UTC)
Hello fellow Wikipedians! I'm not sure what the 1,138 number is in the lead: I tried to do some calculations and I think it used to be the total number not including newly-wrecked cars and the 7000-series. Should it be updated to reflect the cars which are currently in active service, or the number of cars ordered so far? Daybeers ( talk) 18:42, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
Breda 2016-2017 are currently being converted to serve as a money train pair for the system. If anyone can find an article, or picture about it and add it to the 2000 series section, it’ll be good to go. Transitfilms6420 ( talk) 18:03, 15 July 2018 (UTC)
Earlier I heard that there were 5000 Series running as an "Deicer Train" today (1/29/19) and I'm unsure if anybody will have a source or picture evidence so we can add it to the section. We have it on facebook though as somebody said.

Does anyone think aging is the only reason why the 7000 series replaced the 1000-series, the 4000-series and the 5000-series?
