Thank you for this rare view through the front window of the cab! I’m in awe that the driver allowed you to be there. This is the only video going southbound that I’ve seen. Thanks from me to the crew and you for this amazing video.

I actually saw this train at Hayward park. Didn’t notice you

I always wonder about these transitions when watching cab videos, but I can never catch the exact moment or notice what to look for. thank you!

I hope dovetail games release this in train sim world

There a Supervisor Seat in there? See a Tesla Semi wrecked today on I-80 running bobtail apparently. 😮😮😊😊😊😊

Seems that Watkins Ave is now a quiet zone. When and how did that happen?

Now we just gotta get rid of the law that requires them to blow the horn at every crossing and station and it’s perfect.

Finally, I wonder why between San Jose-Diridon and Tamien, Caltrain only uses 1 of the tracks, with only 1 track electrified?

Also what is that buzzer heard at 27:38? Is it loud?

Awesome video! It's so funny to see a front view going south. Just a couple of technical issues I noticed in the original upload and this one: around 47:30 the audio becomes delayed by about 5-10 seconds. At 58:12, the picture freezes, but after it unfreezes, the audio seems to be synced. It's not the end of the world, but I figured I should say something.

THIS is what it is all about; making our lives easier.

I really wish the MBTA in the Boston area would get a battery electric version of this train? This train would have separate entrances for different platform heights allowing for better passenger flow and making it easier for the conductors since they don't have to manually open the traps. Also given this train can technically travel up to 110mph, it can cut down travel time while on the northeast corridor sessions of the MBTA Commuter Rail. Maybe the version for the MBTA might even go up to 125 mph for all you know (same speed as Amtrak Northeast Regional trains).

In regards to the speed display, that might be a part of the ATP (automatic protection system) that has not been fully implemented although by law since passengers are being carried now it should be operational...just a guess..I'm probably wrong.

great answer...makes sense

Anyone know what "target speed 0 mph" means on the display?

I'd think it would be due to a desire to ensure that the ocs doesn't sag to where it could come into contact with anyone on the platform. Also it will be a long time before those of us riding south of Tamien will see emu/bemus. 😞

I don’t think there’s been southbound cab ride videos since before the San Bruno grade separation was even considered. I never knew about overhead rail in the tunnels. Awesome video!

It’s all surreal seeing the electrification construction progress through the years. I can’t believe that until now, we finally get to see the EMUs in revenue action at last. 🥂

that horn is hella annoying though

Thanks foe posting this video

God bless you all and bless 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Love you Lord Jesus Christ 🙏🏻❤🙏🏻❤🙏🏻❤🙏🏻

Why electrify

Cali may have some major issues with some things but stuff like this sure does make my hope rise up for a better tomorrow

Can’t wait ❤❤

What are those toasters going to be used for?

Waste of money.

In Poland we also have 3000 v DC in railway. Wires are similar. Greetings 😊

Y isn't an two more set of tracks for the Highspeed train to go by, one set in Millbrae and in Brisbane after the lagoon segment

Thanks for these updates. Will there be a Dec or Jan update as the final assemblies are installed?

I think the Americans should look for electrification as an alternative to dieselization(using nautral gas-and steam power plants)!..

Awesome to see this finally done! Now it's just the matter of getting track speeds up to 110 mph, and installing quad gates at all the grade crossings that can't be separated or closed. Hopefully that all gets done well in advance of CAHSR's arrival, which will probably be around the mid-2030s if their Merced to SF extension gets funded before 2030.

Why did the train cross over to the left track at 12:05, 25:37, and 44:21? Maintenance on the right track?

Ex-Amtrak AEM-7s at 1:01:45 !!

I can't believe my eyes. There are just restored tracks fastened using medieval spikes into wooden sleepers? Or is it just some kind of optical illusion?

1:02:26 I see that there already decorating the Christmas train

CalTrains love the sound of their own horns

Can someone please explain how California HSR and Caltrain can share this corridor? Surely somethings gotta give?

The bombardiers have good front-window views I could see such

Very good.

Just came back to NY after railfanning out there for several days. Yep. Looks like all wire is up. My main mission was to catch the old guard once more. I likely won’t return. Kiss Off so to speak.

now we need to see the Caltrain EMUs in testing action

Actually, sad to see the end of this series of videos. Now, we just need to wait for the first run of the Statler Kiss trains from Tamien/San Jose to San Francisco 4th & King!

So awesome to see that every foundation, pole, and wire has been erected and completed as of now. All what’s left is those power stations, and all those new Stadler KISSes tested at a thousand miles before their debut in next September. Cheers to you, and thank you for making these electrification updates possible. Hoping for a great ride next year!🍻

0:07 what’s that dial tone that sounds like a walkie talkie?

Love the new trains. I only wished they had improved the bike storage. I haven’t looked into it too much but it seems likes it’s the same old design with the bungee cords.
