About Project

As of January 1, 2018, Harmon Crossing Processor (HXP) units have been designated obsolete by the manufacturer of the product, Alstom. At the time of Alstom’s decision to no longer support the HXP units and manufacturer the HXP product, inventories were made available to existing users to support the HXP platform. Alstom inventories have been depleted and spare parts for the HXP platform are limited to what materials NCTD and its Rail Operations and Maintenance Contractor, Bombardier, currently have in stock. 


Project Scope, Successes


    The San Diego Subdivision had 46 HXP units in-service at various locations; the Escondido Subdivision has approximately 120 units. This project prepared plans, specifications and estimates to replace the HXP units on the San Diego Subdivision with next generation Alstom XP4 units in the near term. The replaced HXP units will be salvaged to bolster spare part inventories for the Escondido Subdivision. Through subsequent Capital Improvement Projects, the HXP units will be phased out of operation entirely on both the San Diego and Escondido Subdivisions as funding becomes available.
