Re: [PHOTOS] Then Along Came The R-38's

Mayor Lindsay wanted the BART look of the R40.

The slanted R-40's predated the BART "A" cars before their own debut in service and on their system on Monday, September 11, 1972. They are being retired, along with their car types "B" (the "cattle cars" that can be placed in the middle of a BART train with no operating cab) and "C" (the "switch-hitters" that have an operating cab but can put anywhere in the consist).
