Video: The end of a BART car

What happens when a BART rail car is at the end of its life?

BART is now showing us through an interesting 88-second video that details the process.

BART also details how cars are picked for the recycling process.

One train car can yield up to 22 tons of metal – around 15 tons of steel, 6 tons of aluminum and 1 ton of copper, according to the transit agency.
