I've heard trains are only allowed a max speed of 25-30 mph underground (at least for this portion of the BART system), and that's because there's two sets of switches this Fremont train must cross over to access Lake Merritt Station. The slow speed is both a practical and safety move because there's turns in the Oakland tunnel, and it reduces the impact of any potential crash between trains.

Wow, the BART seems to be running a lot slower than normal in this video.
