The Doolittle Maintenance and Storage Facility (also known as the Wheelhouse) is the operations management center for the BART Oakland Airport Connector. The building is used for storage and maintenance of the Cable Liner cars, and is also the powerhouse for the system's 12-foot (3.7 m) drive wheels. It was initially planned to also be a passenger station; that was cut due to lack of funding but may be added as an infill station in the future. Vehicles stop at the structure in both directions to switch cable loops, but do not allow passengers to disembark.
