In celebration of the 200th anniversary of founding of the United States, the American Revolution Bicentennial Administration included BART as one of 200 examples of outstanding community achievement.
In line with numerous railroads across the country, a few cars also “celebrated” the Bicentennial. Around 11 A cars temporarily gained the official Bicentennial Logo in lieu of the cab logo alongside smaller versions of the same logo below the cab exterior numbers. The cars that received the logo were recorded as follows: 115 127 139 140 153 169 177 202 219 236 264 Other BART material, such as “The All About BART” guides also featured a small version of logo. |

"The Two Bagger" is meant to be a place to store more "blog" style posts on various cars, pictures, and random tidbits/trivia. 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
