Overview
- Metro director Adrián Rubalcava, who inspected work Tuesday at the Tasqueña shop, said preventive and corrective maintenance is underway on Line 2 NM02 trains.
- The checks center on the service brake blocks that use compressed air to trigger mechanical pads, a setup that must hold steady pressure to stop each car safely.
- Teams are inspecting the air system that engages and releases the brakes, including valves and lines that control the flow needed for smooth stops.
- Each NM02 train runs with 140 synthetic brake pads, a newer material that replaced wooden pads on older models for better wear and more consistent grip.
- Rubalcava said the Metro is sourcing consumables and spare parts through the RAS automatic resupply system to keep workshops stocked for work that continues beyond the World Cup.
