Today, Bombardier Transportation announced it won a $14 million contract from Maryland Transit Administration (MTA) to refurbish and overhaul 34 MARC IIB push-pull commuter-rail cars. The contract scope covers carbodies, trucks, HVAC equipment, brakes, door controls, and other systems and components. The project also includes adding new bike racks.

Bombardier will complete the overhauls at facilities in Kanona, N.Y. The cars, which run on the MTA network between Baltimore and Washington, D.C., are scheduled to be back in service by 2010.
