5 Car Richmond Train Arriving@ Civic Center Station in San Francisco on 3/17/08. This is the end of the Double Decked portion of the Market Street Subway, BART turns left to follow Mission Street while MUNI continues to TWin Peaks Dist.
WESTCAT and AC transit don't want it going farther because they make most of their money on routes that connect pinole/Hercules/Crockett and montalvin to farther stations
If they kept the Richmond line going, it should stop at Richmond parkway transit center, old town pinole, and end in Hercules. It would be difficult to scrape money together to build tracks across the carquinez strait
Note that when the Colma station was created in 1996, the tracks were already there. The tracks beyond Daly City were very long before finally reaching the yard. The same thing happens at Richmond-- the tracks go so far north that they could open a North Richmond station without building any track at all.
They do that more often (with the A car in the back) than two A cars on both ends. The C car seldom is in the back, the A car has got popularity and moved up to the front more often than not.
That's the sound of regenerative braking. Basically, there is a power plant onboard, and the energy it takes to run the power plant slows down the car, acting as a brake. When the car stops, the energy generated from the power plant is recycled back into the third rail.
@PinoleValleyNate Dumb fuck!
