Caltrain EMU Test Trains in Action Day 1

[@ymchien]

Awesome!!! Very nice upgrade.

[@claudea9037]

This very fast accelerate und decelerate is the reason to save some😊 minutes when they change the schedule in september 2024 (under 1 hour at express trains between SF and SJ & local service will be 75 minutes instead of 100)

[@TWF1003]

what are the full fleet numbers for these trains?

[@trevorderper5050]

Cab cars are in the 300s (301-346) and intermediate cars are in the 3000s series.

[@AaronJrBrundidge]

so far, i counted 12 7-car EMU sets

[@trevorderper5050]

I actually caught 13 but I filmed it from a bus and it wasn’t good so it didn’t make the final cut. I probably will get more EMUs tmr.

[@AaronJrBrundidge]

@@trevorderper5050 23 sets is the total, correct?

[@trevorderper5050]

Yup tho there is 19 for the base order to replace the F40s and Galleries, 4 additional sets for expansion and includes the BEMU.

Part 2 please

[@trevorderper5050]

Coming soon. Right now I am filming the trains.

These are extremely BART-like in person. If there weren't a bell then you wouldn't even be able to tell that the sound is not that of a BART train. Let's go Caltrain! Put these in service so that I can take a ride!

[@trevorderper5050]

They do indeed accelerate and decelerate pretty quickly.
