It would be great if some cyber wiki cartographer could whip up a map showing where the BART tunnel begins and ends. -- Gebl Gebl Gebl ( talk) 15:30, 15 August 2011 (UTC) reply

hey, people, thanks for expanding this article of mine. It looks great!—Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.4.63.233 ( talk • contribs) 14:44, 25 February 2005

I don't know enough about it to do it myself, but how about a section on the Transbay Tube fire in the 70s?—Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.6.97.152 ( talk • contribs) 06:29, 29 December 2005

The notation that the Transbay Tube is the "deepest vehicular tunnel in the world" is taken from BART's tube history page, which was transcribed from materials written in the 1970s. Today, both the Seikan Tunnel in Japan and the Channel Tunnel are far deeper. This should be amended in the entry.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.0.154.81 ( talk • contribs) 06:47, 16 February 2007

The Emperor Norton article states that he conceived of a tunnel in 1872, long before General Goethals. -- 82.197.224.73 ( talk) 12:12, 20 April 2010 (UTC) reply

The article uses the word "bore" several times, e.g. "Each tunnel has a bore approximately 17 feet (5.2 m) in diameter" ... Is this correct terminology, given that this tunnel was not bored (drilled) through rock, but is a cast concrete structure? Ehlo127001 ( talk) 21:23, 21 September 2019 (UTC) reply

Bore can also mean simply the interior diameter of a hollow cylinder. It's commonly used for things like engine cylinders, gun barrels, syringes, and pipes - see Nominal Pipe Size for example. -- Finlay McWalter··–· Talk 22:49, 21 September 2019 (UTC) reply

The main info box claims the Transbay Tube has a track gauge found only in India, instead of the common 1435 mm standard gauge. I find this improbable. Is this a case of subtle vandalism? 128.2.55.184 ( talk) 05:31, 4 February 2020 (UTC) reply

No, that's true - BART uses the odd gauge (see here). Pi.1415926535 ( talk) 05:33, 4 February 2020 (UTC) reply
