One night in 2007 I was on a BART train from SF to Oakland. We left the last station in SF and traveled for about 20 seconds before the train came to a complete stop. A few people on the train were alarmed by this. A few started to hyperventilate. One woman lay down on the floor. The train operator voice came on: "Ladies and gentlemen... we have just experienced a minor 4.5 earthquake. We will continue our ride into Oakland at 10 miles an hour in order to inspect the track ahead of us." It took 6 times longer to get to the first stop in West Oakland.

We used to take this from Fremont to watch A’s baseball games. My mom would drive up to Fremont from Southside San Jose. Sometimes we take the bus sometimes we ride the bus by ourselves. Sometimes she would drop us off at Fremont BART. As dangerous as the 90s were, It was still safe enough for children to go alone after the age of 12, we were not the only kids.

Parking is unsafe due to the increasing incidence of hijackings, theft, and broken windows.

nitpick: We haven't used Richter in 40 years

@AlvaSudden 20 күн бұрын

Huh? I hear Richter scale used all the time.

@ikani1 20 күн бұрын

@@AlvaSudden Usually by media. The USGS hasn't used it for a few decades now. They use the Moment Magnitude scale, as the values are pretty similar, but it gives a lot more accurate information. From the USGS website: "The Richter scale is an outdated method for measuring magnitude that is no longer used by the USGS for large, teleseismic earthquakes. The Richter scale measures the largest wiggle (amplitude) on the recording, but other magnitude scales measure different parts of the earthquake. The USGS currently reports earthquake magnitudes using the Moment Magnitude scale, though many other magnitudes are calculated for research and comparison purposes."

Somehow, they prevent ships' anchors from hitting it. I forget how.

@RazorLight_YT 29 күн бұрын

When building it, they dug a trench in the bay floor (or whatever it's called) and installed the tube. After finished, they filled it back up with dirt.

@dmk941 28 күн бұрын

The tube is buried in a trench on the bay floor. It's also located in a pathway where ships don't anchor.

"But the most interesting bay crossing isn't one you'll see in postcards or in the movies" Reminder that the final scene in George Lucas's THX-1138 was filmed in the incomplete Transbay Tube, so you can actually see the tube in a movie.

Enjoyed working at ORY. Train Operator shifts at Richmond was hard to get unless you had good seniority, great group of people worked there at the time.

@skykitchen867 Ай бұрын

When I became a train operator for BART in the 80's we didn't have such simulators, training was at OHT and at Hayward Yard. Those were the days.

This is fascinating. Would love to see a similar video about the Berkeley Hills tunnel between Rockridge and Orinda

@ezrakainz Ай бұрын

Oh yeah that water tunnel is quite cool, esp the structure they built across the hayward fault, i think it can allow 8.5 ft of slip along the fault without breaking the water pipe. Its one of the main sources of water to the east bay (theres a backup tunnel under kensington called the san pablo tunnel)

@ezrakainz Ай бұрын

Oh shoot i forgot bart also has a tunnel there, i think they have a similar structure as well

@patrickburns4607 Ай бұрын

@@ezrakainz Yeah I meant the BART tunnel that you go through between Orinda and Rockridge stations. I remember reading somewhere that it also has a special slip joint where it passes through the Hayward Fault. Would love to know more about that.

@amiausUSA Ай бұрын

The Transbay Tube is about as old as George Lucas' "THX-1138" film, starring Robert Duvall as the titular character. In fact, THX-1138 was filmed in parts of the Transbay Tube before it went into service in San Francisco. Per Wikipedia's entry for THX 1138: "The under-construction Transbay Tube served as the tunnel through which THX escapes". I think BART was already operating on the East Bay by then.
