Wellington Yard and Maintenance Facility Updates
Wellington Yard, the facility where we store and care for Orange Line vehicles each day, has been updated for safer, more efficient maintenance.
While the yard is substantially complete, construction on the Wellington Maintenance Facility continues to progress. Rehabilitating the maintenance facility will improve vehicle maintenance, reduce downtime and customer wait times, provide cleaner trains, and deliver safer operations. Wellington Maintenance Facility currently has a projected completion date of Summer 2024.
