1985 Transition on the Peninsula

[@WasatchGarandMan]

I rode Caltrain from San Bruno down the peninsula everyday for 5 years. The cars reguardless of age were actaully fairly well kept, other then the bathrooms...but It would have been nice to see a High Hood diesel run a train or two. Still love the F40PHs though!

[@FSF502]

How did the seats felt

[@UncleKenable]

Nicely done. I shot the SP era, the transition and afterward from 1973 until - now.

[@HotShotDesigns3D]

This information was very helpful since I'm creating the Peninsula corridor on Trainz

[@jackboerner1901]

Suisun Kid good luck in your effort sir!

[@dfwrailvideos]

Dude! Thats awesome! Have you gotten the JR SDP45 pack and the commute cars on the DLS? I have the commute cars and they are awesome! I hope it goes well!

[@HotShotDesigns3D]

Well yes, i do. However because of personal reasons. I abandoned the project. Mostly because of how long it would take.

[@randynewell1751]

Great memories! Thank God none of the Harriman's were scrapped

[@SJSharkMaster]

Fun fact: CalTrain used K5LA horns before the Nathan P2 horns came around

[@pqhkr2002]

Is K5LA the original on F40PH? UP's freight train horns are louder than Caltrain's.

[@jackboerner1901]

I must say I prefer the K5LA’s, however I can understand how some might feel the P2’s “carry on” the sounds of the SP, seeing how similar they sound.

[@ThePeninsulaRailfan]

It's all because of noise complaints in early 2000's that's why there is quite zones

[@chrisotto6421]

Now in 2024 the F40PH-2's themselves are being retired caltrain picked the perfect replacement for the old SP commuter locomotives

[@LDTV22OfficialChannel]

Electric is the best

[@deltanine6497]

Very well done. Many thanks!

Three of the Suburbans are at the Niles Canyon Railway three more at the Golden Gate Railroad Museum Golden Gate also has and will soon be operating three of the bi-level gallery cars. One more of the Suburbans is now in the Niles District of the city of Fremont as their Chamber of Commerce building if you call it that even has its own address

[@SRMitchell91]

Four of the suburban cars made it up to Samoa! We have them at the Timber Heritage Association.

R.I.P Huff. 1956-2013

[@jackboerner1901]

It is a shame that we lost Huff, but WPRM did everything thing they could to give it a good life for preservation, no one stepped up.

[@willberestartingthischanne9984]

What Happened To Him?

[@oakrail8100]

@@willberestartingthischanne9984 Huff was scrapped in 2013 at the WPRM due to his rotten condition

[@trevorderper5050]

7:15 914 in it's beginnings and now 35 years later it's been retired

[@iancarisi8342]

Can you do one about the WP and the Oakland Sub Division on the East Bay. I live very close to what is now abandon and have walked it frequently.

[@francozuno5174]

where did the piano music come from

[@TheCRTman]

Love this history

[@francozuno5174]

Caltrain blew horns at half volume which made them sound fouled but because they were loud

[@caltrain910]

Who's watching this in 2024

[@hl4270]

now its the transiton to the electrics

[@ThePeninsulaRailfan]

I Cant wait for rapido to recreate this!!!

[@jasondick3308]

One of the Suburbans are still on display at Santa Clara station. It’s funny to think that it is nearing its 100th birthday

[@jackboerner1901]

That‘s a 1912 Observation Parlor-Cafe car at Santa Clara.

[@hl4270]
