CalTrain Action @ MenloPark & Lawrence CA. FAST 70MPH Express Trains

So, I took a trip up to San Jose to visit my brother while he is going to college up in Northern California. While I was up in San Jose, I decided to check out the Capitol Corridor, and CalTrain's Corridor respectfully, and I was not disappointed, this is part one of the two videos you all will be seeing from my trip. Enjoy!!
All Clips were recorded on the 27th and 29th of December 2021 at MenloPark CA. and Lawrence CA.
Most Trains in this video make station stops. The express trains are time stamped below.
- Menlo Park CalTrain Station
Express Train 1: 4:20 (Limited)
Express Train 2: 5:05 (Baby Bullet)
Express Train 3: 6:35 (Baby Bullet)
Express Train 4: 7:20 (Limited)
- Lawrence CalTrain Station
Express Train 5: 7:36 (Limited)
Express Train 6: 8:32 (Limited)
It was pretty sick seeing the large amount of F40PH’s still up and running on CalTrain’s system along with the LARGE fleet of gallery cars they possess. The P2’s Horns also sound very nice up there aside from the few that are Fowled and whine like crazy while being used. Hopefully I get to railfanning different locations up there sometime, but it was definitely an unforgettable experience while I was in San Jose.

truly exhilarating stuff, when those trains flew past at what seemed like unfathomable speeds i was really sent to my happy place. this is why i am a hardcore RAILFAN. RAILS FOR LIFE!!!!!

[@basictransportenthusiast4386]

Ive always loved P2 horns, not really sure why they get hate. Very pleasing to listen to, and they are miles better than K2's

[@JointedRail2024]

The Nathan P-Series is probably one of the better horn series out there, especially P2’s and P5 s

Nice. Such an awesome video on all the express trains through Menlo Park

[@JointedRail2024]

Thank you so much! I tried my best for my first time up there, I appreciate it 👍

No thomas :( where is blue train with face

[@blackking7512]

Naa dude you and your friend actually need to come to the Northeast Corridor. You will love the speed. I recommend Princeton Junction or Jersey Av.

[@JointedRail2024]

I might be going to the east coast later this year, if I do, I’ll try and make my way up!

[@blackking7512]

@@JointedRail2024 Dope. I also forgot to mention Kingston RI the Northeast regionals stop there but some don't and you catch the 150 mph Acelas there as well. Soon to be 160 Mph Acelas with the Avelias coming so yea. Some crazy speeds.

6:07 Engineer blew shave and a haircut two bits

[@JointedRail2024]

It’s kinda quiet, but you can hear me and my brother cheering to it! Was one of the two times we got a SAAHC while up in San Jose ;)

[@PeninsulaTrainFan]

@@JointedRail2024btw, this is the same engineer that blew us two shave and a haircuts while we were railfanning Menlo Park. He’s on the 124 and 708.

[@lakeharrietmontessorischoo8671]

weird railroad crossing

[@JointedRail2024]

Yeah! CalTrain likes pedestrian crossings with stacked lights and WCH Type 1.5 bells, it is a little off putting at first but you get used to it after a little bit

[@RealRusty999yes_lol]

Can you go to College Park San Jose next time

[@JointedRail2024]

Next time I’m up there I’ll visit for sure
