Railfanning Caltrain 3-16-11 Part 1

[@ternie6515]

Good ole days of caltrain

[@caltrainfan]

@Amtrak6901 That was actually 147, one side does say 61, but at 4:18 you will see that it says 47 on the engineer's side. Plus in the Part 2 video you see that cabcar 115 is on 261.

At 1:53 there was a defect detector. Never knew that Caltrain has a defect detector.

Nice catches, enjoyed it!

[@sixfifty_sebb]

4:10 why was the engineer blowing the horn so much? Was it a safety thing they had to do to blow the horn that much?

What station was this in 1:58? I knew it but then I forgot

[@Caltrain927]

This was the old San Bruno station when it was south of Angus Ave. It now runs over the top of San Bruno Ave where the old Defect Detector used to be.

What station is this 0:45

[@Caltrain927]

Old San Bruno Station, it was moved to the North after the tracks were grade separated.

@@Caltrain927why did they do that

[@tventures2]

@@kl6361i believe those two at-grade railroad crossings were some of the deadliest along the corridor. the current station is situated at a much more convenient spot anyway, being closer to the little commercial district and tanforan/BART
