[@Danapeople]

macarthur is closest to emeryville, and that can take you to richmond, pittsburgh/bay point, san francisco, sfo airport, and fremont, but u can transfer to a train to dublin/pleasanton at bayfair

[@wicky201]

Was on it last week, that's what the operator told me...I'm sure they don't go 80 in the tunnels though.

[@Danapeople]

yep!

[@Danapeople]

from now on im not gonna turn the camera or pick it up while im filming

[@Danapeople]

@wicky201 are you sure? i kno the red number shows 80, but the green number is the current speed usually 66-68 in or out of tunnels

[@Danapeople]

ya, it was great

[@Danapeople]

yea they do

[@SPS148669]

Holy smokes! They actualy run "Heavy rail"
trains on streetcar/LRT-like road embedded tracks? That look dangerus if it derails.

[@Danapeople]

definitely

[@Danapeople]

@wicky201 thats the speed limit, ive never seen thim hit 80, usually 66 to 68 is tops

[@Danapeople]

#2001 was in my video during the train meet

[@Danapeople]

[@Danapeople]
