eBart DMU extension opens.

Posted by The Silence on Sat May 26 12:30:42 2018

10.1 Miles from the end of the Pittsburgh Bay Point Line

Author seems to have forgotten about the OAK airport line not using a third rail system.

Riding the line requires passengers to use a second platform at PBBP that has no street access, mainline BART trains must double stop.

I rode it this afternoon. DMUs are quiet and smooth, but with some side-to-side sway. Lots of brake smell. Bolt-upright, minimally-upholstered seats. PA almost unintelligible. I hope the engineered this with a wide-enough ROW for eventual conversion to through operation.

Doubtful that the width of the ROW would impact the addition of 3rd rail.

I didn’t know that the extension was standard gauge.

Stadler DMU's are everywhere business seems to be booming for them.

To be honest, the past decade or so has been pretty good to them, and they went from being a small company making a few custom made Swiss projects to one of the largest players in the industry. Thanks to some mergers and acquisitions, they now have a full catalog of rolling stock from trams to mainline railway regional and intercity rolling stock.
