WRM: Wide Gauge Rail for BART Legacy Fleet

The Western Railway Museum, the future home of the BART legacy fleet, is well underway with preparations for preserving the legacy fleet.

One of the largest tasks thus far is to large the broad gauge rail that the cars will park on. WRM volunteers used an already existing standard gauge track and laid a third rail matching the BART gauge (5 feet 6 inches plus a little bit extra) for the BART cars. Now, WRM volunteers are using spikes to secure the rail to the ties.
 
WRM plans on getting the cars in late July and into August, further details are TBD and will be shared when available.
