Transfer Station
To travel to Antioch, take normal BART to the Pittsburg/Bay Point station, stay on the train, and continue to the next stop, a transfer platform between two actual stations. At this transfer platform you disembark normal bart and board the new eBART cars to continue to Pittsburg and Antioch. Each car was independently powered by Diesel. It was not possible to move from car to car while in motion.

Antioch Station
The Antoich station is on the other side of a freeway. It is at the edge of town, not in town, and thus needs a large parking lot.
