- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- The Western Railway Museum is selling BART Legacy Fleet Train Operator Consoles sourced from retired cars. For $1000 each, you can own a core piece of BART history and support the preservation of three complete legacy cars at the Museum.
This video presents a history of the different train operator consoles of the Legacy Fleet, the functions of the console, and how to purchase one from the Museum if so inclined.
The consoles do not include the actual horns, of course. These were mounted below the floor on the outside.
Some pictures from the Western Railway Museum Archives and the BART Film “A Matter of Pride”

Damn I wish I had 1K to spend on one of these. Just not the right timing but it’ll be nice to see on in a museum. I grew up riding these since I was very young
Awesome!
I'm guessing the Manual Control handle is spring loaded, meaning if you let go of it, the handle automatically returns to the "Stop" position. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Yes. No deadman switch so this can function as that while running in manual
i want one now
Nice, but I'll just stick with my $50 number plate souvenir. 🙂
I wish I could buy one when will the Bart WRM exhibit be completed?
WRM will get the cars in the coming weeks. A date is yet to be determined.
have you documented whose bought what console and where they've gone?
They are expensive and makes sense however I won’t be able to get it due to it being expensive
I wish I could buy that but it's too expensive and I can't afford it.
Would love to get one, but too rich for my blood
Hey ATP Transit is there a way that I can get my hands on the operators console from BART legacy car unit 1234???
No, the car has found a second life outside of BART.
OK. I'm so happy for it.🙂🙂🙂@@ATPTransit
They have a horn on it right? Or, the cONSOLE for the horn.
Horn buttons. No actual horn included with them.
@@ATPTransit I see.
Didn’t the C2 Cars retired in 2020 or 2021
Exited revenue service in 2020 and scrapped through 2021.
