The rolling stock of the Washington Metro system consists of 1126 75-foot (23 m) cars, delivered in six shipments. All rail cars in the Metrorail system operate in married pairs (consecutively numbered even-odd), with systems shared across the pair. The system rail gauge is a modified standard gauge 4 feet 8 1/4 inches (1429 mm), 1/4 (6 mm) inch closer than standard gauge. The platform height is said to be 38 1/2 inches (978 mm) above top of rail (ATR) and rolling stock floor height is also 38 1/2 ± 3/4 ATR for level entry. Washington's Metrorail floors and platforms are lower than most East Coast mass transit systems, such as New York, Boston, and Philadelphia.
