One of the richmond trains is an imposter the other might actually becoming from lake merrit and the one tunnel thats in the far back that one might becoming from san Francisco or dubin or pleasant hill or pisburg bay point
Here's some trivia. Notice how 12th and 19th stations have different lighting? 12th used to have lighting similar to 19th, but they replaced the lights at 12th a few years ago. 19th will have new lights soon as well as part of a renovation that they are doing to that station.
Nope, all stations are long enough for 10 cars. The reason is because the cars in service are the ones that were made at the very beginning of the BART, and at the time, it wasn't as expansive. As the system got bigger, more trains were required, but the amount of cars stayed the same (save for the flat ended driver cars (C cars) that were built around 19 years after the first cars). So as more trains were required, for expansion and for increasing ridership, they had to make the more used lines have longer trains, and the less used lines have shorter trains. Right now, there are new cars being tested, and they're supposed to fill the lack of cars.
QuarioQuario54321 it depends on the time of day, during rush hour they run 8-10 car trains but in between the rush hours they run trains that are 4-5 and 7 cars in length. It also depends on the Line like the Richmond-Fremont line they run 6 cars on weekdays and 3 Cars(which is so weird to see) on weekends
Funny how we compare this to NYC when the BART is obviously doing way better. Look, they even have a great warning system. Look for a remix of the "death horn" soon.
BART trains are longer and faster, but they don't go as many places as the NYC subway, so NY subway is still better than BART in terms of utility. However BART goes far out and pretty fast, which would be nice if the NYC subway could do that.
Great video, thank yuou!
I was taking BART a bunch of times
Awesome

MacArthur Station was too fast in 34:58
Hold up at 45:26 there was a richmond train using the middle tracks? That seems odd

Mario honk dododo do do

America's only (I think) Indian Gauge subway system

Some Train Enthusiast It style only 5 ft 6 in gauge in the Western Hemisphere

Why were there so many a stock trains on the Pittsburg line i never see them on that line
10 car trains on the Pittsburg/Bay Point are very common due to the length of the line, so you'll see most of the A stocks on that line.
Why do they run different lengths? Do different stations have different platform lengths?

Well, there is the oakland shuttle to Oakland airport. That's always the same.
Well the shuttle is totally different from the 5 main lines. There is no contact.

Miles Campbell they don't run three car trains on that line anymore. Haven't since September 2015. The shortest any train gets now is four cars
Has anyone ever seen an A car and a C car coupled together. That would be interesting to see
Ive seen Pleanty, It was very popular to put C cars Directly Behind A cars in the 1990's
Oh hey 27:09 there was a Zoom ad lmaoooooo
Quick question what is your favorite Bart line red orange blue or yellow
Funny how we compare this to NYC when the BART is obviously doing way better. Look, they even have a great warning system. Look for a remix of the "death horn" soon.
I know, right? Just because we like our own system doesn't mean it's the best! Btw, are you back in NY?
Yes, for a week now.
Desmos - Trains & More but nyc's subway is ranked 3rd in the world

Sounds like all the MTA NTT propulsions combined lol
I'd say it sounds like an R142/R142A/R143 plus a low "ringing" humming noise.
I’m N B
at least you get to catch the Old bart trains before they retire in 2020
X
theres more oakland stations than those 3
Yes, I know that
But those three are the major transfer points in Oakland.
