Swiss rail firm Stadler to deliver 21 trams to US
The Citylink-type trams, which can carry 240 passengers, will be built at Stadler’s United States factory in Salt Lake City, the Thurgau-based group said in a statement on Thursday.
ATP’s board of directors has authorised an initial tranche of $39 million for preliminary work, with the total fixed-price contract not to exceed $352 million, ATP said in a separate press release.
Austin’s first urban rail network will comprise 15 stations spread over nearly 16 kilometres.
