BART - Final Run of the First Fleet

[@jamallhayden2512]

Thank You!

[@airpicts]

Glad you enjoyed it! I had a great time that day.

[@derekhellmann5509]

Wow what a great documyabout these cool old cars. And with that another piece of my youth is erased 😢

[@airpicts]

Thank you!

[@iJMultiplication]

Great turn out! They should save some for movie making. If they could increase safety at certain stations and parking lots ridership would definitely go up.

[@evanstonbalce9588]

Even if they have all that, it is no guarantee that ridership will increase.

[@peraltarockets]

Thanks, legacy fleet. Do good things in your next lives. Loving there's so many transit nerds in the Bay!

[@lashendawest7509]

Great video

[@airpicts]

Thanks! It was a great afternoon and I glad I can share the experience with everyone.

[@leiag201]

JC, it's about time. Seattle's Link train already has newly designed cars, and it's only been in service for ten years. Nixon's train was still in service???. That's ashame 🤣

[@ArtamStudio]

Hilarious - if it ain't broke, why fix it? How often do you buy a new fridge?

If you want to see the Legacy Bart train again, you could go to Universal Studio Hollywood and see it at stage 50, on the studio tram tour.

[@airpicts]

Or the Western Railway Museum. www.wrm.org/fundraising-campaigns/rapid-transit-history-center

I was in SF in early April and saw the ad for this while riding BART, wish I was able to be there for the last run

[@fambam2023]

Hi Ben need to ask you if you seen a kid with a 49rs shirt. That was me on the 2nd train 1st car if you saw me

[@airpicts]

@fambam2023 - I went back and reviewed at my crowd clips and sorry - I did not catch you. :(

lol booing Dufty! 🤣 9:30 goodbye and thank you, toot-toot 😘😭

[@hotrail8295]

Nicely done, Ben! Missed running into you yesterday! I'm so das that BART could not keep a set stashed away after all this to trot out for future special occasions. There is a ton of history in these cars, never to run again.

[@airpicts]

Thanks! Yeah, unfortunately BART didn't keep a set for special occasions. Though a set of A-B-C cars will be saved and on display at the Western Railway Museum.

Which BART yard has the first ever FOTF car?

[@evanstonbalce9588]

Hayward yard

[@KevinMeno2008]

First subway I ever rode was BART Green Line on the A/B fleet from South Hayward to Embarcadero Station in the early 1990s. Now, BART is 100% new Fleet Of The Future. Goodbye the classic BART cars '72-'24

[@HIDLad001]

It’s no longer fleet of the future anymore, it’s just fleet of the present now lol.

[@nim64]

lol i was the one with the cat ears in the car you rode (14:21 bottom right)

[@airpicts]

Yay! I like the shot of you guys seated with the Ride into History sign behind and when the Legacy train from the opposite direction swooped by 14:47.
