Brookville Equipment Corporation started delivering in March of 2022 for the first of five all new Liberty NXT Light Rail Vehicles (LRV) to Sound Transit for its Tacoma Link System. These cars support the 2.4 mile Hilltop Tacoma Link Extension of the current 1.6 mile Tacoma Link line, slated to opened in 2023. These 66 foot long vehicles are a part of the $26.5 million contract for the design and build of the five LRVs for the extension. The Liberty NXT LRVs expand the service from the Theater District to popular destinations such as the Stadium District, Wright Park, and major medical facilities before reaching the Hilltop neighborhood. These vehicles seat up to 26 passengers and can comfortably transport more than 100 passengers, with four accessibility seats.
