Last Wednesday SMART made it's second southbound run across the Petaluma River and down the newly reconstructed San Rafael Branch to the Civic Center station to introduce the Marin public to the new DMUs. A number of SMART employees manned the display train, which included some nice maps of the system. On Friday, the train returned north in the 7pm hour after wrapping up a hopefully very successful three day display.

Crossing old Haystack with new Haystack rising. Don't know how many runs they will make across the century old Haystack bridge before it's sent to the scrappers.


This is Atherton Drive looking toward the north Novato station which is sort of lost in the distance


Here 102/103 have come around the curve at the south end of old Ignacio station and are now passing the future site of an emergency equipment storage site, recently purchased from the Novato Fire Dept. They split the signals and run through the switch at the south end of the passing section.






Here are pictures of the train coming around the curve in San Rafael near the Civic Center. This is historic second time it has come around this corner.








Here the train is photographed from the road that leads to the Civic Center just before leaving for its return trip to Santa Rosa.



Crossing the north fork of Gallinas Creek


Here is sequence of the trainset approaching the passing section at Roblar Drive.









And here the train is running through Burdell past the landfill.
