First Southbound Run! Caltrain Electric Train

[@Sacto1654]

Note starting September 21, 2024, the KISS train sets will be running on a *MUCH* faster schedule, since they no longer have to deal with the slower and older diesel-electric train sets. We could see the "Baby Bullet" trains pass stations at speeds over 85 mph.

Caltrain got their electric trains before MBTA, which already runs trains on an electrified portion owned by Amtrak

Amazing how fast from zero it goes!

Nice ride even though it sounds like a packed trattoria.

[@evanstonbalce9588]

The MPI locos and the Bombardier cars will remain with Caltrain, right?

[@TransitBaySF]

Yes, only between San Jose Diridon and Gilroy.

[@TohaBgood2]

Only a few and only for a few years until they receive the dual-mode batery+catenary Stadler trains.

[@Sacto1654]

Most the current fleet will be retired. There will still be a number of older train sets in service between San Jose to Gilroy, but even that may chance because of upgrades to the line to support California HSR operations from Gilroy to San Jose, which means the Stadler KISS trains could operate all the way to Gilroy.

Nice and quite except didn't like the locomotive bell sound. Also I still see this train still slow between San Mateo, Hayward Park and Hillsdale are too close each other in San Mateo. Where are the people and lack of commuters parking in Hayward Park station is unworthy stops (please eliminate this Hayward station) while all other commuters are in train cars waiting to designation quickly! Compared other stations are further distances in worthy quicker except San Mateo. Believed me!

Why the heck do US trains have to make such a terrible noise?

[@roger5059]

Lack of grade separation and idiots who would otherwise run or drive over the tracks. Quite a lot of stations actually have you walk over the tracks to the other side if you want to switch platforms, whereas in europe, there will be overpasses and underpasses most of the time.
