BROOKVILLE went into contract with Detroit based M-1 Rail in 2015 to supply six off-wire capable Liberty Modern Streetcars for the 3.3 mile Woodward Avenue line valued at $32 million. The M-1 Liberty
Modern Streetcars travel without aid of the overhead catenary system (OCS) for 60% of the 3.3 mile
corridor. During off-wire, the streetcars draw from the onboard energy storage system (OESS). The
M-1 Rail Liberty Modern Streetcar is 66.5 ft. long, 70% low floor area, seating for 32
passengers and holds up to 125 passengers. The streetcars operate in a 6.6 mile loop on Woodward
Avenue to connect the business, shopping, entertainment, and dining centers from Campus Martium
Park downtown through Midtown to Grand Blvd in the City’s New Center and North End neighborhoods
