Travel San Francisco - New in town, taking BART train from airport

[micronc]

That's usually what the Bay Area is like during the winter.

I'm typing this on March 1, 2011 -- they're calling for rain tomorrow and more rain over the weekend in San Francisco.

i remember when i was in SF the tunnel right after you come off the overpass from the airport the train flies at like 80mph.

Ditto. The rails between Embarcadero and West Oakland could use a serious grinding. It seriously can get deafining in there with the noise echo.

HAHAHA the train is not quiet from Embarcadero to West Oakland

The Colma station, mentioned but not seen in the video, used to be the end of the line for several BART services, before the extension out to the airport was built. Colma is the end of the line in another sense: it has many cemeteries.

Daly City is unusual among BART stations for having one "island" and one "side" platform. Trains that terminate there (coming from Fremont or Richmond) use the opposite side of the island from trains going to Pittsburg/Bay Point or Dublin/Pleasanton.

 Actually, almost all of the land within Colma's town limits is taken up by cemeteries.
