[@TrainsWow]

I love that sound!

[@ethancampbell6076]

+TrainsWow™ it's just the BART Tracks

[@AaronJrBrundidge]

@*_•reshirm•_* sounds similar to R142A, R143, and R188 in NYC

[@sjohmoreo2434]

If we have like this in Lagos Nigeria, will be a very good thing

[@thecooltrainguy5920]

Great Catches of those BART trains! Also I'm just wondering, Did you fly on a plane to San Francisco?

[@LimboGene]

When recording your videos, does your camera automatically remain steady or do you edit it to look stabilized?

[@FanRailer]

auto stabilizer

[@AxisX7]

Wow, the propulsion sounds like they took all three propulsion systems from the R143 & R160, and combined them into one thing. Also what's the acceleration rate on these trains? Looks like they accelerate really quickly.

[@FanRailer]

AxisX7 3.0 mph/s from 0-31 mph.

[@VinceHere98]

They sound like a high pitched R143.

[@DarPower1]

Acceleration on the side of the platform the camera person is filming at, is actually slower than normal. The trains are taking off, and preparing to cross over tracks so they pull out slower. On the opposite platform the trains usually zoom off pretty quickly but sometimes go slower for a few seconds before accelerating for transbay tube speeds.

[@keegan854]

At least some of the BART cars use a really weird system which powers a three-phase AC motor from the DC third rail through an inverter.

[@Uncircuited]

yeah. The whining sound only came from the AC motors- that's why you get the R143 and R160 feel. the C1 and C2 cars (flat cars) use the old Westinghouse DC motors (hence the buzzing from those cars) from the original cars - before 1998 there were no R143-like AC motors powering the A and B cars. Those motors are now solely for the C cars.

[@football_fan7208]

I usually go to 24 mission street by taking the San Francisco/Daly city

[@John-cb2cl]

How many people ride Bart at that time bro

[@deandrejohnson2158]

That sounds like R142A

[@CaseysTrains]

+Deandre Johnson Same propulsion system. MARTA, Boston's Type 8 LRVs, and SEPTA M4s all share the same propulsion as well.

[@Dr_Monitor]

+Nicholette Casey (Nikki) i believe the buzzing motors you hear are the old Westinghouse motors, where as the multi-phase "winding/whining" motors are the ADtranz retrofits. Up close, the retrofits actually sound a little eerie, esecially if you haven't heard a multi-phase AC motor wind up. Slowing down they sound spooky as well.

[@John-cb2cl]

Be cause I only ride Bart at night

[@kuzkotv3630]

Metro w San Francisco

[@PHope-sl4nj]

West Oakland Is In Oakland.

[@YNGreedyWorldstar]

Sounds like the metro train dc

[@AaronJrBrundidge]

BART trains can run up to 80 MPH

[@FanRailer]

Aaron Jr. Brundidge Design speed is 80 MPH; in practice, trains only run up to 66-70 MPH to reduce wear and tear on the equipment and tracks. The fastest I have seen was 72 on a downhill section a few years back.

[@DarPower1]

+Fan Railer I saw 75 in the transbay tube a few years back

[@teamcommercial565]

I have seen 78 in the trans bay tube to the embarcadero

[@shrek4319]

is this fruitvale station?

[@FanRailer]

title

[@shrek4319]

+Fan Railer west oakland is the name of a station? didnt know. but do you have a video filmed at fruitvale station.

[@FanRailer]

I don't think I fanned there when I was on the trip. Most of the stations look very similar (south of Lake Merrit). I do have plenty of clips from Union City.
