1263 - Back from the Dead(line) - just briefly. (Scrapped)
Old 1263 was built in 1975 by Rohr in Chula Vista, CA, as A car 263. It was rebuilt in 2002 as car 1263. In 2016, it was used for testing at Warm Springs. By 2019, it was stored at Hayward Yard alongside cars 1770, 327, 2556, 1557, and 1208. All but 327 and 1263 were scrapped (1208 was featured in BART News: https://www.bart.gov/news/articles/2020/news20200903-0). Last I have seen, 1263 ran on the Yellow line (Concord home shop), and 327 is often spotted on the Green Line (Hayward home shop).
2023 edit: After a brief entrance into service, the 1263 was stored at Hayward Yard due to program stop issues. It was used as a training car for Train Operators.
