Fully functional trains: Opening dual doors, exits to other passenger units, removable roofs for access, comfortably seats 29 minifigures in A2/B2 car and 25 in C1/C2 car. 

Although not proposed, these could be easily motorized.

What is this?

This is the notorious BART train or Bay Area Rapid Transit. As seen on many special news broadcasts, for good and bad, BART is a well known and reliable public transportation service that gets the job done. I use it, you probably use it, your friend uses it; it's a good way to avoid the terrible commute to the City, amongst other places in the Bay Area in California, USA. 

Why did I build it?

To honor the legacy of the "Legacy Fleet" since it is due for decommission from service in 2022.

As seen on NBC Bay Area and SF Gate!
