Only the first train brought passengers back to Oakland since it was loaded with media and VIP's, and only ...

BART Legacy Train - Last scheduled run - Final 5 minutes
zhlédnutí 2,2KPřed 10 měsíci
This is what it was like inside the final scheduled run of the BART legacy fleet (from 1972) that made its final run on Sunday evening, 9/10/23. The last run was from Millbrae, Ca. to Richmond. Video starts as we arrived El Cerrito Del Norte station. Had just enough time to jump out for a second, then back in for the final 4 minute stretch to Richmond.
Southbound Caltrain at 7th and Townsend in San Francisco. 8/25/23. Last day for signal cantilever.
zhlédnutí 320Před 11 měsíci
Southbound Caltrain commute rounds the 7th Street curve in San Fancisco on Friday evening. This is one of the last trains to run under the 75 year old cantilever signal. It’s supposed to come down this Sunday during another one of Caltrain’s maintenance blitzes, as they get ready to electrify. I know I’ll miss that last reminder of SP days in SF.
Point Richmond, Ca wigwag update - 2023
zhlédnutí 29KPřed rokem
Quick update on the Point Richmond wigwags. Went out there today to clean them up and test them out. They haven't operated since 2019. Getting ready to do some paint touch up. A better video will follow soon.
Southern Pacific - East Pleasanton Turn in Pleasanton, Ca. 1992
zhlédnutí 591Před rokem
Last days of SP's East Pleasanton Turn, seen here blasting westbound through downtown Pleasanton, Ca. in May of 1992 (trackage rights on UP). Not sure when they finally gave it up, but It couldn't have lasted much longer, as SP was nearing the end of the line in a few short years. Sorry about the annoying chain-link fence. I'm still not used to seeing it there.

Great catches awesome chase and pacing shot and nice video
Wow, that spot has definitely changed from when I first got a pic at that location in 2003. Ancient jointed rails, rotted ties, mudholes galore and two semaphores made the scene then. Sad to see the latter is now gone. At least I have the pic of it all.
*Test, test, test...* The system clearly has been ready for action for at least a year... when are they going to turn off the fossil burners?!! I got tired of watching these electric trainsets test, and test, and test in Pueblo, CO in 2022!!! The last Magnetic Flagman wig wag operated less than 70 miles from that location! *Turn the switch! Start running the trains!*
A year ago the wires weren't even installed yet. They were still building the catenary supports. They will go into service in September. A few diesel sets will be retained for the Gilroy trains. As for wigwags, the one at Delhi was the last "Colorado wigwag". There are still a few left in California.
Good job Dan!
Looks like, per Google maps, the wigwag is still there? Question is, are the rails still in use?
Yes, they are. I heard a train go by very recently, they run them pretty frequently.
Dang, I was 10
Haha that guy in the background
Nice to see people celebrate public transit in such a way. The bart ain't perfect by no means, but it's something we are sure glad to have.
What is wrong with people
Too much sugar.
When the last one came in, a few folks were being pretty sentimental and saying close to it. Someone (I presume from the Operations Control Center) got on the PA and said "please stand back from the platform, this train is ready to depart." Then, a few seconds later, "Take your hand off the train, that is NOT safe!"
I was on the other side of the platform
"Over the hills, and all along the way. We're building a dream for tomorrow..."
"Over the hills, and all along the way. We're building a dream for tomorrow..."
"Over the hills, and all along the way. We're building a dream for tomorrow..."
Wow, it is really over isn't it? The trains that carried a sitting US president... along the way... over the hills? The dream built for tomorrow has transitioned to history.

BART is now starting a much better future with a much more sound technical basis. The old trains were groundbreaking for their time, but they were also exotic and fragile, extremely expensive to maintain, and not very good as metro trains due to their original commuter rail intent. The old train control system was, again, revolutionary for its time and copied the world over, but it was also insufficiently safe and extremely imprecise compared to that new Hitachi CBTC they're installing. The old magstripe payment system was immediately recognized as the standard to aspire to, and some systems in Europe and Asia only switched to it finally a decade ago. The new open payment system will actually grow BART ridership with free transfers and zoned payment Bay-wide. With the new trains, fully rebuilt track infrastructure, and a new payment system BART will be faster, more frequent, more reliable, and better as a near-metro quality S-bahn. We should be celebrating this moment. BART is growing up and becoming a better system.
Sounds like a ship horn
It sounds like the Delhi wig wag
Caltrain in its best era, no electrification, no catenary, no grade separation. Glad to be born in such a good era for railroading
Up 844 high speeds fast

This is a sad videos for railfaners😞😟😞
Was that prisoner on the run by the wig wag
That wasn’t a prisoner
I don't live in the Bay Area anymore, back in the day I rode many times. Thank you BART.
I am wondering about the bnsf line itself. How often do trains pass by? It looks like only car storage
hi dan, do you mind if i use this video and some photos from your wigwag site for a project i'm doing? i will be posting it publicly on youtube and will include credits to you. thanks!
That should be fine if you include credit. Please send a link when you're done!

Crack head on bike jumps through train

I hate this crossing
then i hate you
how could you hate a wigwag crossing
Thanks for not zooming in as it ruins the effect of stand there
how do you change the pitch of the bell?
One of two ways... either turning the gong (hole is off center), or by adjusting the hammers. That adjusts the loudness. As for pitch, I don't believe that can be adjusted. Just depends on how the bell was cast. I think...
What street is this?
W. Richmond Ave.
@@danosf thank you!
Nice 👍
Sweet
those idiot bicycle riders could have been hurt or killed if that train lurched either forewads and backwards and yes they are trespassing. when i was a small child living in glendora ca, these type signals protected the tracks at grand ave and foothill bulibard roads .
when i lived in glendora ca , i remember this type of signal at foothill and grand ave . loved the sound .
The definition of old reliable. The Legacy Trains will forever be the best memories of transit service. Hopefully they make a museum of how they began service to the end of an Era.
Toughest engine ive ever heard .It has a good quality of. Standard using of its kind .What a unique Roaring engine on cabin to view and hear
Thank you BART!
This came up so fast I didn't have a chance to come ride it. Weird to say, but I'm gonna miss these.
:(
The end of an era.
