Today, Bay Area Rapid Transit formally retired the last of its original rolling stock that had been in service since the system opened in 1972. The occasion was marked by speeches from BART officials and a farewell excursion between McArthur and Fremont (where the very first train had run on September 11, 1972). I was there and rode the last train.

You take too many uninteresting and bad photos
>>1992466Cool thread anon, kinda crazy how long those old trains have been around. Won't miss the old interiors though, I never felt comfortable on those plush seats imagining what type of unspeakable horrors it had experienced and absorbed.
