M-7 (railcar)
Encyclopedia : M : M7 : M7R : M-7 (railcar)
The M-7 is an electric multiple unit railroad car built by Bombardier in the early 2000s.
The cars were ordered by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (New York) for the Long Island Rail Road (M7) and Metro-North Railroad (M7A). They replaced the M1 railcars, which had previously provided electric service on these lines. They run on third rail power. There are two different versions, owing to the different electrical and signalling systems on the LIRR and Metro-North.
