its good that ur capturing BART as it is now. soon the new cars will be on line and the current fleet will slowly be phased out. hopefully they will keep a few cars for historical purposes.
+Bentley Milnes its bad now there are crack heads riding the bart and its very dirty , i was there 2 weeks ago and the downtown area is crazy too its not worth it living in the bay area today
@bartfansma True that, I spoke with a train operator the other day operating my Fremont train, who told me he did operate a PBP train at one point. He told me that they do breaking of the trains in the station in PBP and send the other set to the Concord yard. According to your video, they don't do breaking in the station, so in this case they must send it to the storage tracks and break them there and one leaves for SFO and the other leaves later for the yard.
@WxStar101 Actually they didn't. When I finished shooting this clip, it was between 9:30-9:45am at Pittsburg/Bay Point Station, and BART tends to still run longer trains even after the "heart" of the morning commute on this line out to SFO. The 9-car San Francisco Airport train arrival announcement you hear on the platform towards the end of the clip is for the same train shown here. So all in all, this train re-entered the station "unbroken."
funny how whenever theres a pittsburg-bay point train at first its super crowded, and at the last stop literally 5-15 people are still there in the train
@WxStar101 That I have no idea. I suspect BART does this because the distance between the Concord yard and Pittsburg/Bay Point is closer than the span between Dublin/Pleasanton and the Hayward or Daly City yards. I figure the Concord yard can do quick maintenance on some cars during the midday hours, then send those cars back to Pittsburg/Bay Point, whereas trains terminating at Dublin/Pleasanton don't have that flexibility.
@bartfansma Yeah, actually the earliest time I rode on this line was at around 10:20am from Daly City onwards. That's a couple of the trains before it gets broken down to 5 cars. Yeah, I can see it's a lot different than the other lines. Next round I assume they break the trains. They also recombine the trains earlier maybe at 2pm or so, whereas the rest of the lines break the trains at 9am and recombine at 3/4pm.
Its horrible to think that people are paying top dollar to have an apartment out there and not real wages in SF or Oakland and then get stiffed by woe.
One thing I understand...the storage tracks past Pittsburg/Bay Point are no different than Dublin/Pleasanton. The only thing I don't understand is why do they send the second set of trains (like after breaking the trains) to the Concord yard and not keep them in the storage tracks like Dublin/Pleasanton?
To WxStar101, first, I assume that you still use this as ID on the Internet, as I'm reading your message lodged about 8 years ago during 2012. Otherwise your Post at this video would've been deleted by now (2020). If my input here can answer your question to bartfansma, then I've done my job. I live in Australia, where I was born in Melbourne, and it once was common practice for trains on one line to stabled in yards on another. On our system, the 1920s - built Jolimont Yards east of Flinders Street Station were gradually decommissioned between 1989 & 1997/98, reducing the numbers of tracks from 52 to 12, these 12 being active lines to/from Melbourne's north/northeast, east, southeast/southern Bayside. As a result, it's now even more common for trains to transfer between depots and yards. Our major suburban electric train depots are at North Melbourne, Newport, Westall, Epping, Craigieburn and Pakenham. Translating this to San Francisco's BART trains, this would probably explain why trains from the Pittsburg/Bay Point Line are sometimes stabled at Dublin/Pleasanton.
I absolutely love that electrical sound you hear in the lead/rear cars of the train
those are old technology train, the update ones doesn’t make that electric sound anymore.
Jason Dic* I agree

This is pretty awesome! I last rode BART in 1979. These trains are roomier than the CTA trains where I live because of the extra track gauge
Chciago

I've seen sets of 4 and 5 cars on the Concord yard while I was riding on this line a couple of times. I was confused on that.
