im not sure why videos from west oakland bart get so many views, my most viewed video is from there with 9,000 or so views, it seems somewhat odd

@Danapeople may be because this is bad area?

Way back in the 80s, West Oakland station was actually named Oakland West. I heard it was because West Oakland had a bad reputation for being a dangerous part of the city. In the 90s it was changed back to it's proper name. Look it up, true story.

@KrayzieCD well I was told that West Oakland is still dangerous place to be.

The traction drive motors are different models, though.

BART uses ADTranz 1507C motors.

NYC Transit uses ADTranz 1508C motors on the Kawasaki R142A and R143 cars.

I remember when they built the BART. There were a lot of deep holes that were 40 by 40 by 40 ft deep. We tried not to fall in them.
