Last month, Ansaldo STS won a $31.5m contract from the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LACMTA) in the US, to design, furnish, test and commission a signalling and train control (S&TC) system for its West Side Subway Extension.
The extension will be around 3.9 miles from its existing terminus at Wilshire/Western Station to a new Wilshire/La Cienega station, and include three new stations.
The new S&TC system will be designed to provide safe and efficient movement of trains along the extension’s mainline and interlocked tracks.
