VRE currently has 84 cars in service. Our coaches exclusively consist of Gallery-style cars.

The chart below indicates how many cars and ridership for each train. Since ridership is traditionally lower on Mondays and Fridays, the column for "Current Midweek Ridership" is a monthly average of ridership for that train on Tuesday, Wednesdays and Thursdays. Similar to the notation for the train pair, the number at the beginning indicates the ridership for the first train of the pair, while the second indicates the ridership for the second train of the pair, and so forth.

          G = standard cars, may or may not contain a restroom

          GC = cab cars, located at the northernmost end of the train, contains a restroom

          LG = legacy version of Gallery Cars, set to be replaced by 2018 with newer cars
