Shot 10: Caltrain L5 southbound passing Watkins Avenue in Atherton at 9:56 A.M. going at a slight restricted speed due to construction work at the crossing. Not visible on video.
Shot 11: Caltrain L5 northbound departing Menlo Park at 10:12 A.M., taken at Oak Grove Ave. Note that the train was on the southbound track due to a truck working on electrification blocking the northbound track up ahead. Also the crossing wasn’t activating as intended to, so the train broke after it started rolling forward in order to get the gates to go down. There were also a couple of photo-bombers.
Shot 12: Caltrain L1 northbound arriving early into Menlo Park after diverting onto the southbound track. Taken at Ravenswood Avenue at 10:28 A.M.

Shot 15: Caltrain L5 southbound arriving as VTA Orange Line departs Mountain View at 11:06 A.M.
Shot 16: Caltrain L1 northbound arriving at Mountain View at 11:14 A.M.

Don’t these trains usually pull 5 cars?

[@teddyguerrero1235]

Yes, I think they were only four cars due to low ridership. Some of the trains have returned to five cars, but not all of them
