Today, June 19th (Juneteenth) is the 60th anniversary of the groundbreaking ceremony of the BART system.
Groundbreaking ceremony was at the site of the Diablo Test Track, now part of Concord Yard and the mainline between Concord and Walnut Creek. The test track was used to evaluate new technologies for use on the BART system.

Due to the wide gauge of the BART system, the Western Railway Museum developed dollies to transport the legacy cars from the delivery site (at museum property) to Carbarn 3. Once moved in front of Carbarn 3, the cars will rest on broad-gauge rail and pushed into the carbarn. Dollies and a retired BART Rockwell truck used for testing the dollies Third rail used for BART

"The Two Bagger" is meant to be a place to store more "blog" style posts on various cars, pictures, and random tidbits. At BART, a "two bagger" is a rather informal name for a two car train. Two car trains rolled in revenue service back in 1972. Archives
