Great video. It brought back wonderful memories of seeing the trains make their way, with their horns blasting, through the road traffic and pedesrians. I also remember well the night time trains with their head lamps blazing.
lol dumb people want to try to run in front of the train. If i was driving that train I would hold down the horn when that person ran in front of the train
This makes me feel that I'm really there. Thank you for the post, especially the part of the AC Transit bus, though I don't see many buses like the one in the video today in my area.
Why does the first train have a superliner car?

I like the way the ditch lights used to be set up on the older cabcars. But the FRA triangle law is important.

Well, the tracks were laid down a long time ago, and the City of Oakland has no money to put up barricades or anything.
