8:34 and 20:31 should both be noted. At those timeframes, ACE Cab Car #3309 and P42DC #47 were seen. You know why I should point that out? Because both were destroyed in wrecks soon thereafter and (i'm pretty sure) have been scrapped.
The original ACE Cab Cars and the P42DCs are still going good right now. The P42s should last several more years against the Chargers, and I don't believe there are any plans for ACE to replace their existing Cab Cars any time soon.
Now that I watch this video again, there are a few more timeframes worth pointing out too. 11:24 That's Cab Car 120. Anyone who ever catches that unit leading is said to be permanently blessed with miracles and good luck. It's horn and bell are also absolutely angelic. But it's horrifyingly rare for 120 (or it's equally amazing brother, 119) to ever be leading. Now that you know this, you should cherish that you have a real video of it leading a train. 24:55 ACE 3309's death was only a little over a month away at the time this footage was filmed. That consist was the very same that would be involved, only instead of 3309 leading, 3307 was. Shortly after this video was taken, they took 3307 off and replaced it with 3309, which then, that exact consist would be involved in what would be involved in the Sunol Disaster, and 3309 would be completely destroyed.
+Dubstep Dog03 Yeah. I decided not to record it as I was too close. I stopped filming and moved aside so it didn't blow me and my possessions over. (I actually had a backpack, suitcase and shopping bag with me as I was flying back to Seattle in the evening from SJC airport).
I didn't know that all three roads shared tracks. thought they all had their own lines. well except toward San Jose were Caltrans and Amtrak share a bit of track. When I took the CZ back from Emeryville in 2007 wee had to detour on the ACE for a bit because something happened on the rails toward Sacramento. ACE Changed the C to Corridor.
+Norman Rasmussen The trains 'going backwards' actually have the driver at the front of the train (in one of the little windows) in a 'cab' with controls which the engine on the rear of the train responds to. It means the whole train doesn't have to be turned around on either end.
The ace f40ph 3c train locomotives are my old favorite 🚂 train locomotives models
My goodness that first ace horn was a beauty!
Right
I like how the trains look.they are very,very cool!the best one is the Caltrain.it’s my favorite!

Do you know what they were replaced with? I haven't been back to the Bay area since this video was filmed.

@@superbaddy4 did ACE replace the damaged cabcar with a new one, or did they buy a replacement from another RR?
From what I know, they didn't replace it.

Zootopia warped cab car at 4:38
This video was shot back in January of 2016 2 months before zootopia came to theaters
Im here because of Train Simulator World Peninsula Corridor DLC CalTrains 😍😍😍
11:20, the iconic 120
at 8:21 you can tell the train is a baby bullet before it even pulls in

Why are so many of them 'going backwards'? Is the signaling good enough that line of sight for where you're going isn't needed?

caltrain copy the design of metra
joanie bellucci Huh?
Caltrain and Metra operate similar rolling stock, but neither one 'copied' the other.
Welwyn22 that, and the red and white stripes on the noses of locos and cab cars.
