[wicky201]

Just going by what I was told.

[wicky201]

Was on it last week, that's what the operator told me...I'm sure they don't go 80 in the tunnels though.

[Danapeople]

@wicky201 are you sure? i kno the red number shows 80, but the green number is the current speed usually 66-68 in or out of tunnels

[piratef2004]

Does anyone complain about the trains running down the middle of the street?

[idiotman76]

Amtrak california traisn look really nice from the outside!

[Danapeople]

[Guser223]

[Danapeople]

around stations about 35MPH, and 50MPH, but there normal speed is about 67MPH

[wicky201]

@Guser223

[Danapeople]

Holy smokes! They actualy run "Heavy rail"

trains on streetcar/LRT-like road embedded tracks? That look dangerus if it derails.

where i could take a bart train.. from emeryville amtrak station

[Danapeople]

macarthur is closest to emeryville, and that can take you to richmond, pittsburgh/bay point, san francisco, sfo airport, and fremont, but u can transfer to a train to dublin/pleasanton at bayfair

[wawonas]
