BART Coliseum Station 2015
BART "A" car from the original Rohr fleet (renumbered 1164-1276 in later years) that entered service beginning in 1972. These cars almost did 50 years of service, finally being replaced in the last few years by a new fleet. They're "classic" in a 1970's way! I'll miss seeing them. Taken from the adjacent Oakland Airport people mover (which interestingly is a cable-operated system).
An interesting 1972 article by Joe Strapac on the then-new BART fleet can be found here: magazine.trainlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/pne_197...
