France's Alstom has received a 2 billion euro ($2.4 billion) order from the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) to supply M-9A railcars for the Long Island Rail Road and Metro-North Railroad, the train maker said on Friday.
The contract, which was announced by MTA in June, will be booked in the second quarter of the 2025/26 fiscal year, Alstom said.
MTA last month said that pilot railcars from Alstom would be delivered in 2029 and enter passenger service on the Long Island Rail Road in 2030. All 316 railcars that were part of this order were expected to be delivered by 2032, it added.
