Retired Caltrain Gallery Cars on the Move to Storage

[@munimathbypeterfelton6251]

The Caltrain gallery cars provided passengers with more than 50 years of service! I salute them!

[@caltrain908railfan]

I heard there was a guy sleeping in one of those cars, and they caught him at Warm Springs

Hey dom Andrew here I missed the move of the Caltrain gallery cars because I’m in Vegas with my mom

[@derrickwong5337]

Happy retired Caltrain gallery cars ferrying!

[@railtechadventurer207]

Awesome video Dom! It's such a shame that even with these coaches being retired, ridership has been decreasing even with shorter trains. At least the new trains won't be using only 4 coaches in length which is something to be happy about.

[@sjrailfan35]

Thanks! I agree.

[@danedawes7122]

Yeah I can agree it will be easier too they don't have to switch around those cars like how they had to do in the past

[@bluebonproductions]

those 2nd batch of cars graffitied as HELL

[@sjrailfan35]

That's what happens when you have cars sitting in an easily accessible area for an extended amount of time sadly...

[@fireandice693]

How did you know when union pacific was scheduled to take the coaches to warms springs yard? Also, how did you get from collage park to japantown to milpitas so fast? Eitherway, this was a lucky & rare catch!

[@sjrailfan35]

Track speed on the line is about 25mph, so I was able to get ahead of it easily.

[@fireandice693]

@@sjrailfan35 but how did you know when they were leaving?

[@sjrailfan35]

I was given a heads up by a friend of mine that was told about it.

[@coolleo149]

Wonder how long they’re gonna be in storage for

[@sjrailfan35]

Until someone buys them, which I’m unsure when that will be.

[@ТаксимоКрасАвиа]

Where are the wagons taken?

[@sjrailfan35]

They are in Schellville, CA I believe for storage. I've been told they are going to both Schellville and Petaluma, so I am not sure where they are right now.

[@railfangarrett6313]

Where are those coaches bound for?

[@sjrailfan35]

As of now, they are in storage at Schellville on the NWP.

[@ignaciotorres1782]

They should sale them to other passages company. Like Amtrak other

[@sjrailfan35]

I was told they may sell them to a railroad in I believe Mexico, but they will be in storage until then.
