Brookville delivers Milwaukee LRV
Written by Keith Barrow, Senior Editor, International Railway JournalThe first of five Liberty LRVs for Milwaukee’s The Hop Streetcar arrived in the city on March 26 after completing its road journey from Brookville Equipment Corp.’s plant in western Pennsylvania.
Each 67-foot bidirectional vehicle will accommodate 150 passengers including 32 seated. The low-floor design is compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act, with level boarding for wheelchairs, bicycles and pushchairs.
Delivery of the four remaining vehicles is due to be completed in the middle of the year.
Revenue services are set to begin on the first phase of the 2.5-mile network in November.
