The operational rolling stock of São Paulo Metropolitan Trains is composed different compositions of 12 different series, produced between 1956 and 2024, and it is the largest rolling stock of Brazil, split between Companhia Paulista de Trens Metropolitanos and ViaMobilidade. The Company are passing by a deep stock modernization since 2007, which aims to withdraw the whole old trains. The modernization is being done also in the lines. Although, the biggest part of the modernization works is suffering delays since the initial prediction of completion was exceeded in 2012 and, because of that, the Company has been withdrawing the old stock (trains prior to 1998) gradually. The trains are identified by serial numbers and they are with your visual communication being updated to the new red pattern in so far as they undergo into general review, which occurs after a certain mileage. Older trains already passed by several visual modifications, internal and external, besides small, medium and large reforms. All CPTM trains have a 1,600 mm (5 ft 3 in) broad track gauge and overhead catenary electric transmission of 3 kV DC. All lines operates with ATC system, however, Lines 7, 9 and 12 are being modernized to ATO, and Lines 8, 10, and 11 to CBTC. All operating compositions have the two new systems when the new signalling works.
Current stock
Series with links have an information page about them in Portuguese.
All new EMUs undergo tests in all lines, but the Company keeps on exclusive tracks for various tests at Presidente Altino's courtyard and in Line 7.
This series was born by the new formation and reform done in some of the withdrawn 5000 series, to operate in the reconstructed operational extension of Line 8, between Itapevi and Amador Bueno stations, since April 2014.
It was the first CPTM's train to have open gangway. By the way, this design is very similar to 7000 and 7500 series, but in addition to having an open gangway, the 8000 have larger doors and minor engine changes. The seating arrangement is equal to the 7500.
This series have a concession that permits them to operate only on Line 8.
Compositions S052 and S112 collided on March 2, 2017, in Barueri station. The two compositions will be probably withdrawn forever, because their structure was seriously affected. Nevertheless, there were only 5 injured people on the accident.
The first units were delivered in 2012. However, many problems were detected on the tests, and they came back to production line to solve them. The series was delivered again in 2014, before World Cup start.
1108 and 1118 - Units operating exclusively in operational extension.
1103 - Inactive unit, due to total loss in a serious accident in Perus station, in 2000, with the 1700 Series unit 1740. The 3 remaining cars, 1318-1218-1118, were coupled into reserve unit 1115, normally operating now.
1601-1612 and 1602-1613 - Last units in operation in Line 7 and modified with four cars, in metropolitan and red pattern, were withdrawn in January 2017 after frequent breakdowns. The withdraw is still not confirmed by CPTM, but they are unlikely to return to operation.
Originally, each composition were made by 6 cars, divided in 2 EMUs.
All units were withdrawn in April 2010, but they are still part of CPTM's patrimony. Actually the remaining units are parked at Presidente Altino yard (4802 and 4807 with red pattern, e 4808, on graffiti).
3 units were donated to CTB, in Salvador city, capital of the Brazilian state of Bahia. Of 3 units, one is already withdrawn.
Withdrawn in 2012, but they are still part of CPTM's patrimony.
One unit is in the original pattern of Fepasa in Presidente Altino yard. It suffered an accident in the 1980s and then was retired definitely.
It was the longest suburban train in the world, with 12 cars and 250 m (820 ft), and was even registered in the Guinness Book. Until today the title is of the TUE.
The only train fleet that has been completely extinct, that is, there isn't even a single railcar.waste.
