Sparks On The TracksPosted on: 2007-10-24No holiday fireworks, this light show of sparks raining from the BART tracks Wednesday 10/24 at 2:00 AM. But repeated passes from Marin Ave. to Washington Ave. by this machine may well be cause for celebration for Albany residents whose summertime has been rattled by ear piercing and conversation stifling trains.

Let your ears be the judge of its success.
The long neglected maintenance of the system tracks can be linked directly to the poor planning by the BART Board of Directors. Thankfully, our vociferous protests worked and the “squeaky wheels got the grease”.
