Title:  Older style
Description:  Im an east coast guy. I have a pretty good idea of the history of most of the eastern systems, and their equipment. The west?? Not much. I recall when BART was opened, almost 50 years ago, and the slant nose cars that ran there. I cant imagine these are the same cars, despite the tendency of rapid transit cars to run seemingly forever. In any case, these look pretty good.

Description:  We went to the west coast in 2015 to see some of the parks, drive up the coast, and see some old friends. A friend of my wife lived in Walnut Creek, in a condo right across the street from BART. Our last day there, as we were getting set up to head out, I took some shots of the local transit operation. A train of Alstom built "C" cars approaches the Walnut Creek station.
