A $265 million light rail maintenance and operations centre for the Foothill Gold Line has opened in California.
The new facility, which can house up to 84 light rail vehicles, has been built as part of the 18.5-kilometre Foothill Gold Line light rail project which will connect Pasadena to Azusa.
The line is scheduled to open in September this year.
To mark the milestone, Metro chief executive Phillip Washington accepted a giant gold key from the construction authority.
Around 200 operational and maintenance staff will work out of the 24-acre centre each day.
