Note that when the Colma station was created in 1996, the tracks were already there. The tracks beyond Daly City were very long before finally reaching the yard. The same thing happens at Richmond-- the tracks go so far north that they could open a North Richmond station without building any track at all.
That's the sound of regenerative braking. Basically, there is a power plant onboard, and the energy it takes to run the power plant slows down the car, acting as a brake. When the car stops, the energy generated from the power plant is recycled back into the third rail.
Notice that the front of the train is a flat C car but the back of the train is a sleek A car.
Cool
That's what I thought the whole time.
I like your posts, but please start using the line colours in your descriptions.
Why couldn't both ends of the BART train be the same? You know, two C cars at both ends of one train, and two A cars at both ends of another train.
The Richmond train is always 5 to 10 cars from the San Francisco line
That was a crowded train.
Agreed. Especially seeing all the people that commute in to Fairfield and Vallejo to work at the factories and refineries up there on the north end of the bay. Because one thing is certain, the freeways up there SUCK!
