Diesel and Electric Action on the Caltrain Corridor
In mid-August, Caltrain soft-launched its new electric service along the commuter rail line that connects San Francisco and San Jose. As part of the transition over to full electric service by late September, Caltrain began gradually introducing their Stadler KISS EMUs in regular service, replacing some legacy diesel-electric trains.
Over a couple days, I went out with my camera rig to get some good-old railfanning action. The main objective was to get some nice footage of the soon-to-be retired diesel fleet, and the occasional EMU action along the rail line.

    A rare window in time where both push-pull train sets and electric multiple units will operate together on the peninsula. It's sad that trains will no longer run the Gilroy-4th & King St., with all push-pull trains terminating at Diridon, as Caltrain says there will be constraints on the mostly two track corridor. At least the EMU's will bring so many positives to the northern half of the corridor, as it will have massive improvements in speed and performance, less noise for residents, and better for the environment, which leads to a better suburban rail service for all.

The music track is nice, but the voices need to be hear above the music, very hard to hear....some interview sound tracks needed to be run through enhancement. I will try to contact you and IF I can help with audio, let me know. I would be happy to aid such a great documentary style that you had. If you can find it local, much better. If not, we'll be in touch. Thank you and keep us informed on California transit, a key to keeping growth moving.

    Watch “Bay Area transit (1984). We had in the Bay Area at least a great public transit system in place. And the idiots got rid of it! Thanks GM, Mack and the oil companies systematically dismantled transit across the country. And when the railroads ran passenger service we had an immense system of rail service across the US. And we got rid of it for highways! From 1918-1998 the government was subsidizing airlines. We had it right once upon a time.

    This is agenda 2112 now they call it sustainable development which comes off the United Nations website people should read it. None of this is true there’s documentaries and patents on free energy enough for the whole world. We have plenty a land and resources this is a global government takeover that every president has warned us about except for Obama who infiltrated all of us to take America’s wealth away They could just as easy by land and there’s plenty of land goodbye and put property up which would create new businesses just like we have done it throughout history requirement problem is that I’m spraying the Geo engineering chemicals in our sky like aluminum barium which you know it gets a hot car and you touch it it gets hot well that’s because it’s metal reflecting off the sun same goes for when they put it in our sky as well as the micro small aluminum particles are coming down into our lungs onto our earth we are farmers can’t grow see anymore I have to buy Monsanto aluminum resistant seeds just to grow a crop this is a global government takeover. Do the research leave their documents please don’t believe me see for yourself what the truth is you’ll be paying for all this infrastructure that you do not need the new global warning in their own documents say it’s the new price of war. Knowing Americans are sick of war he’s 1% for in bankers elite want to United Nations to be a one world global government communist world government where America no longer exist where were a welfare third country state and we are all slaves in debt have you seen the $400,000 stack and pack them apartments? That comes with this agenda after they burn you out of your house with your laser weapons they have patents on him and video of how they work and there’s video of them starting the California fires that way firefighters I’ve never seen fire so hot that I melted metal and tires. People are going to believe what they’re told they think the government is doing something positive for the environment when they’re damaging the environment city in the clouds took a look at the sun when history tells us that this is all happened before a cycle of a change in weather not caused by humans but the global warming agenda continues even though the scientist that claimed global warming admitted they lied. Since when is it all of Americas problem to provide transportation for others they can always create larger freeways they’re doing all of this as planned freedom information act is something Everyone should look at because of the government documents that you could search read for yourself and see what the plans have been. Your country then she care if your BN had and made into slaves?

    Assume one train every fifteen minutes, 24 hour a day, 365 days a year, Assume 1000 passengers each train, paying $200 each. That's about $7billion a year. So paying for just the construction will at best take 10 years. That's ignoring the cost of actually running the system. And the chances those numbers will actually be met is ludicrous. Once again Moonbeam and his ilk have sold Californians a delusion.

    38:09 Shizuoka prefecture used to be too far away from Tokyo to be considered as commuter town by traditional train commute. Once the Shinkansen became common place some people found out that it can be used as a commuter train, the value of the property in Shizuoka started increasing considerably. Of course, it's not for everybody, it requires a good paying job to make it worth while.

    The last time I heard statistics on the subjects, 1/3 of adult San Franciscans did not own cars, nor 70% of New York City. In fact I know people in San Francisco that have never bothered to learn to drive since they don't need to, though it somewhat limits some of the places they can go. Those same friends tend to travel to other parts of the world where transit is awesome instead of spending their vacation money here in California.

  • @BaskingInObscurity

    As stated in the documentary, building the middle portion of the high speed network would link and therefore leverage existing transit systems in Los Angeles and Bay Area metros, e.g. CalTrain, the Capitol Corridor, BART, Metrolink, Altamont Express, and Amtrak Throughways. Improving and initially depending upon the existing systems to better complement the high speed rail link would have the two prong effect of increasing ridership and efficiency on these existing systems as well as opening the high speed track to service much sooner, generating ridership and fare income in the process. To build the urban ends first would have the opposite effects, risky and detrimental to the existing systems, for multiple reasons: the services would be duplicative, forcing them to divide up ridership, as such failing to significantly increase fare income while dramatically increasing expense; the high speed bits of track would then compete with the existing systems for said upgrades that some have been waiting decades to fund, much less complete; in turn these effects risk the viability of the existing systems thus threatening their continued existence into the high speed age; and finally all of these effects would create a terrible and lasting negative first impression for ridership, a reputation for high speed rail that would take a great number of years to overcome. Building the middle segment is definitely the wiser option. I look forward to riding high speed rail, having enjoyed the comfort and convenience in Europe and on the Acela. Sleep, read, play tabletop or video games, get business or homework done, eat watch the scenery go by, walk around rather than get stiff and cranky, and NOT breath auto fumes or endure loud airports for several hours.
