When did they begin running 3-car trains?I don't really know much about the system, but I seem to recall pictures of three car trains from several years ago. Maybe Doc will elaborate for us. |

Depends on what's going on.Blue Line trains (Old Town to San Ysidro) have 3 cars during most of the day, go to 2 cars late nights. Orange Line trains (12th Imperial to Gillespie Field) have 2 cars during most of the day, 3 cars during rush hours. Green Line trains (Old Town to Santee) usually have 2 cars at all times. Exceptions: 1) Padres games at Petco Park (downtown), then both Blue and Orange lines have 3 cars on all trains. 2) Charger games at Qualcomm Stadium (Mission Valley), Green Line have 4 cars for the SD-100s (2000 series) or 3 cars for the S70s (3000 series). Sometimes the U-2s (1000 series) make an appearance on the Green Line as needed for capacity reasons, they also will have 4 cars on them. |
