Rolling stock
The "T" previously had a fleet of Metro-Cammell heavy rail cars for the Orange Line. These cars, known as 1960 Stock, had been in service since the 1950s, and saw service on both the elevated and the northern extension before they were retired in 1981. Several remained on the property for some time before being scrapped. The 1960 Stock were a favorite for fans, as the small motorman's cab enabled passengers to stand at the front for an operator's-eye view.

The Orange Line is a standard gauge heavy rail and uses third rail power. Currently, it is using 1981 Stock.
