Facing in the other direction than on the
previous page, this camera view shows the tracks at the yard merging
toward their junction with the revenue rails, which are off to the far right.
The
system's route length at about 104 miles makes it a pretty much
co-equal with Chicago and Washington, D.C. in the second tier below New York
City for total miles in service. Unlike either New York or
Chicago, no BART routes operate 24 hours a day. There is
approximately a four-hour gap in service in the wee hours of the
morning. |
