As a student in the Bay area, I see advanced microprocessors and “software” all the time. but the howling sound in when Bart passes the transbay tube is the icon of American engineering.

[@jermaineholmes1233]

I feel that way about all subway systems.

[@3henry214]

You can blame the howling on BART cost cutting measures. The trains originally had steel wheels with a rubber composite ring or "tire" on them... very quiet running. I remember when you could carry on a normal conversation going through the tube. Those quieter composite tires weren't lasting as long as conventional railroad steel "tires", so BART phased them out by replacing the rubber composite ones with conventional steel. The noise levels of the trains shot up dramatically, I remember being able to carry on a normal conversion going through the transbay tube without needing to yell. The way the system has turned to crap going through the Oakland and Embarcadero stations... you can't pay me enough to set foot on BART these days.

[@mithikx]

I suspect my old BART commute gave me tinnitus, or at least in part contributed to it. Those old trains get loud when they got up to speed, can't say anything about the new ones since I haven't been on one.

[@a_pullin]

The howling represents the death of American engineering. Everything in BART was custom-design, following aerospace principles. They INTENTIONALLY used minimally-tapered wheels, under the premise that track deflections would be tightly controlled. The "Wheel Geometry Change" is a mediocre workaround, because resetting/replacing all the tracks would be too hard or expensive.

The population of both the US and of the world has more than doubled since the transbay tube was built. NAFTA sent US manufacturing jobs overseas. Unions were busted.

[@gregwilliams386]

A really big telecommunications company found they had a really small fiber optic cable crossing the Bay Bridge. The company approached BART and offered to lease or rent a raceway that existed in the tube. BART wanted so much money that the company paid to have a conduit trenched into the bay's bed. In the end it was cheaper until the Loma Prieta quake, when the bridge was replaced and the fiber updated.

Few recall that "BART" used to be called "BARTS" or "BARTD"! They shortened the name early on. BTW, getting downtown via Market Street was quite the trip - especially when using the old green torpedo "street cars" (aka LRVs today). You could look down through the car window at the open trench and see the subway level over 70 feet below! Memories..

[@mdj.6179]

The old Eureka street station was the closest one to my house when I grew up. Now you can ride the same type of torpedo car down Market on the F line. They are vintage cars from other cities because SF let theirs get vandalized in storage. BART was going to go through the Twin Peaks tunnel before they scaled it back. The Muni Metro took over the connecting tunnel and the Castro, Church and Van Ness stations.
