A $70 million factory in Hagerstown, Maryland, will have the capacity to build trains of all types for use throughout North America. It's set to open in 2024. (Courtesy Hitachi Rail) Metro still hasn't returned all of the 7000-series rail cars that were sidelined last October because of safety concerns. But a multibillion-dollar deal to upgrade Metro's fleet with new 8000-series cars remains on track to being fulfilled within the new Hitachi Rail factory that's under construction in Hagerstown, Maryland.
