Siemens has obtained a contract from the South Florida Regional Transportation Authority (SFRTA), operator of Tri-Rail commuter-rail service in Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach counties, to provide seven advanced Charger diesel-electric locomotives. Expected to enter service in 2029, the new locomotives will enable full access to MiamiCentral Station, which requires rail equipment to meet specific operational and compliance requirements to access the station. The Chargers will replace SFRTA’s aging fleet of six EMD GP49 units, according to a Siemens press release, which did not mention the contract's dollar value.

Fifty-five of the 70 trains will replace the aging fleet on Line 2; the remaining 15 trains are planned to serve the Line 1 extension to Yonge North and the Line 2 extension to Scarborough, Ontario.
