San Francisco/Daly City Train Arriving at Fremont BART

10-car San Francisco/Daly City train coming together before departure at Fremont Station in the East Bay, as the height of the weekday morning rush takes place on BART.
Fremont is the final stop for all trains coming from the peninsula and West Contra Costa County, plus geographically the southernmost point in the BART system. The San Francisco/Daly City trains operate here Monday through Saturday until 5:51pm. During all other times, San Francisco passengers must take the Richmond train and transfer four stops ahead at Bay Fair Station in San Leandro.

I always wonder what they would do with a short train that has an A car facing the Fremont direction, and knew they'd do something like this, which is rare. Never seen this before until you posted it. Also, I haven't seen a short train length with the word No Bikes. I thought they'd just post "Board Center" since it's a shorter train. I have been on a 7 car train before, which normally flashes "Board Center", and I rode it during a "No Bike" period, which flashed it as 7 car train - No Bikes.

I always figured with that type of train, they'd take it first into the station and wait for another one to come from the yard and recombine into a longer train since the A car came in first. Usually it's the other way around with C cars.

i don't know that BART train would undergo coupling with another set of EMU during service, it's rare to see trains coupling in other subway system in the US, isn't?....really interesting, thx for the vid!

May have to wait for a few minutes and that's the thing goes back to daly city when is out of service that may go back to the yard

WARM SPRINGS BART STATION OPENS MARCH 25th!

[@kcmoq]

so weird to see the train switch directions

[@sterlingarcher7101]

How does it work when a train hits the last stop? Does it backtrack onto a track switcher to transfer to the tracks on the other side? How do they not crash into other trains? (contact other trains before transferring?)

[@amtrakfandeangelo8276]

trains go into a yard at a main terminal and at end of line stations there is a crossover track so train can go back the way they came and cross over to the other line

Is Fremont 2 platforms or 3?

[@wishfulanthony]

There are only 2 platforms, the same throughout most of the BART system. Stations that have more than 2 tracks include:
- Coliseum (2 for BART, 1 for AGT)
- 12th Street/Oakland City Center (3)
- 19th Street/Oakland (3)
- MacArthur (4)
- Daly City (3)
- Colma (3, but Platform 1 is not used)
- SFO Airport (3, but Platform 2 is not used)
- Millbrae (3, but only one is used)
