Brclem-- Sorry. LA Metrolink is not light rail by any stretch. It generally qualifies as commuter rail or possibly regional rail. It uses locomotive-hauled trains of conventional 85' bi-level cars operated in push-pull in mixed traffic on freight RRs. LRT cannot do that because it fails the FRA buffing strength requirements, among other reasons. You are probably thinking of LA Metro Rail, which IS light rail transit, except for the red line subway, which is heavy rail transit. St. Louis operates a service also called MetroLink, which indeed is light rail. It also seems to me that I've seen advertisements somewhere for operating models of the Siemens-Duewag U2 LRT cars a la San Diego, Calgary and Edmonton. Maybe someone out there has info.
