Diesel and Electric Action on the Caltrain Corridor

[@northerncalirails2008]

Great video! I'm sad how these diesels are retiring soon. I grew up with them and I had alot of fun rides with them throughout my childhood.

No more cab rides

Have you forgotten the MP36’s will still be used for Gilroy service

[@tylerroberts1276]

A rare window in time where both push-pull train sets and electric multiple units will operate together on the peninsula. It's sad that trains will no longer run the Gilroy-4th & King St., with all push-pull trains terminating at Diridon, as Caltrain says there will be constraints on the mostly two track corridor. At least the EMU's will bring so many positives to the northern half of the corridor, as it will have massive improvements in speed and performance, less noise for residents, and better for the environment, which leads to a better suburban rail service for all.

I do miss the midday limited that would run, since I would take it on occasion to get up to SF quickly. But even so, the time savings the EMUs have (even with local service) and the at minimum 2 train per hour frequency, it's a worthy trade.

3:00 Ive never heard this horn before. Are there any other clips of it?

[@wenchance]

IIRC, some of the horns (especially on the cab cars where the chimes are located close to the undercarriage and get dirty), are heavily squelched. Their chimes are blocked with stuff preventing them from properly working, with only one or two of the chimes sounding properly. That's why you get some of trains with a single chime sound. Which I guess was a good way to get some rail fans used to hearing the dinkier sounding Stadler euro-style horns
