I remember hearing something like this horn, about 11 AM on Monday 9th February 1999, while waiting for a westbound train at Lafayette station to Embarcadero. I happened to be running my tape recorder at the time. What a moment captured from back then.
It's always interesting to see Grover truck horns used in subway applications. The PATCO also uses Grover horns, opting for the 1600 series. Despite how weak the spun brass bells are on those horns, they seem to have held up great. Definitely sets it apart from most transit systems that opt for horns from Nathan AirChime such as the P2 and KJ-24 along with Wabco horns such as the A-2, AA-2, and D-5.
Hey man! Happy to hear your voice! Also great job on the horn review! "Honk" is right on that too on the thumbnail! You did great! Keep up the good work!
the new trains don't have air horns, they have a bullhorn speaker that plays the regular horn, or if the emergency horn button is pressed, plays a shrill tone much louder. It was very common to hear it when the trains were new and the operators were being trained on them.
@@larailfan1714 new trains do not have air horns, they have an electric horn that either plays the regular tone or a louder danger tone depending on which horn button the operator presses
This horn is not going to get the attention of people that need to be warned. They should have asked the company who builds air horns for diesel-electric locomotives to build something that would get the attention of everyone.

I haven't been on BART since they got new cars, so I'm very glad to hear they're already preserving those cars.

1:33 Cool sounds like a fire engine.
trains can yell!
By any chance could you put out some more clips of the airhorn of the BART train while entering the station? I think that would be cool.
This video has pretty much all my clips of the air horn in action
@@ATPTransit oh and what about the Fruitvale emergency stop clip?
aaah so it's not the "🔵🔵" one, but the "🚒🚒"!
Could you do a video about the air horn on the new trains?

I’m confused. It felt like you gave me 2 different explanations

Heyo ATP, where was the wipers button on the newer version of the A car?
Near the top. I can show you once WRM gets their A car
@@ATPTransitsweet can’t wait. I wish you all at WRM best of luck!
So far 6 A2 Cars Survived
Six were not scrapped, only one will be preserved (at the Western Railway Museum)
@@ATPTransit since 1164 is already to the western Railway Museum I wonder what the rest of those 5 A2 Cars are gonna do
Bars, Airbnb etc www.bart.gov/about/projects/legacy
