E Cars

E cars are similar in function to B cars. E cars are used in the middle of trains ("cattle cars"). They do not have automatic controls for revenue operation, and rely on a lead and trailing units (D cars) for their operation in revenue service. They can run under manual control as single or multiple units in yards.

4466-4467 (2024)

Not quite sure what contract these cars were under. BART documentation somewhat conflicts with other BART documentation.

Possibly:
-Replacements for crashed/damaged cars?
-Actually under Core Capacity Program contract?
-Penalty due to reliability problems early on with the fleet?

4468-4499 (2024) - Core Capacity Program

The expansion orders include hundreds more Fleet of the Future cars (306 cars for Core Capacity - 30 trains per hour in Transbay Tube using CBTC). These cars round off the 4400s.

The first few dozen of these cars were already under construction as of July 2024. The first of these cars entered service by October 2024.

4500-4599 (2024-2025) - Core Capacity Program

The 4500s are part of the Core Capacity expansion order of cars. The first of these cars entered service by November 2024, and deliveries and onboarding continued through March 2025.

4600-4699 (2025+) - Core Capacity Program

The 4600s are part of the Core Capacity expansion order of cars. The first of these cars were delivered in March 2025, and the first of these entered service by April 2025.

As of April 7, the first 4600 I have seen in service is 4604 on a Yellow Line train on 4/7/25.

4690 is the 1000th FOTF car, with the carbody made in Mexico in May 2025.
