The same S-70 car that is used on TRAX is used on the S-Line. The only differences are that these cars operate as single cars and therefore the couplers have been covered up. The maximum speed has also been dramatically reduced from 65 mph to 25 mph. Three cars have been modified for the S-Line, two to operate the 20 minute headway and one to rotate as a spare. To board low floor streetcars, riders in wheelchair or other mobility device can board through any of the two center doors. Push the blue button on the train door to open the door and deploy the boarding ramp.
