frank? >> anne, there was some talk about replacement workers. will they help next week? >> reporter: bart couldn't even start training replacement workers until workers went on strike. that's finally happening. so in order to get that ball rolling, the board needs to approve that which could happen as soon as this weekend but the board member i spoke with said it really isn't in their purview right now. >> thank you, anne makovec live for us at the lake merritt station. >>> things could have been worse had ac transit workers also walked off the job today. the governor stepped in and delayed that strike and that made a huge difference. check out the line of people waiting for a bus at this stop at 20th and broadway in oakland this morning. hundreds of bart riders are turning to ac transit to get around while the bart strike continues. >>> and ferries are motoring back and forth across the bay. the san francisco bay ferry is operating 12 boats instead of the usual 8 to ease congestion. the golden gate ferry is operating on a regular schedule from marin county. >>> other co

i wanted to see the real jesse james in what he was like anne frank and the gang members themselves.l and i think it's a really good thing to bring up. several movies have featured the northfield raid and almost always in these movies they show the northfield raid as a trap and that the people know ahead of time. what that tells me is people might find it hard to believe that this group of criminals could be defeated by everyday citizens to it's got be a trap. that's exactly the way it happened. my favorite jesse james movie is the assassination of jesse james starring brad pitt. i think it's very accurate except for the aspen trees. it was found in canada but it's a beautiful sound and i think brad pitt is the best jesse james i have ever seen on film. tyrone powers is great and robert wegner is great. robert duval is a good jesse but the best characterization of in my opinion is greg pitt -- brad pitt. >> if any of. >> if any of the outlaws have any descendents and my second question is if you fire you can pull off six shots so how have we were these men armed and did they have sev
