At the outer edge of the BART network, there is a strange isolated section known as eBART. While the majority of the BART system uses electric, broadgauge trains, this extension uses diesel, standardgauge tracks. It is known as eBART.
The trains on eBART are the Stadler GTW, popular on many regional railway lines throughout Europe. Their diesel engines are located in a small power pack in the center of the car.
Transfer from BART to eBART happens on a transfer platform, located 0.6 miles east of Pittsburg / Bay Point Station. That platform has no entrances or exits. So many strange things surrounding eBART!
