This is a compilation of Caltrain commuter action showing trains traveling between San Francisco and San Jose along the Peninsula. The action was shot over a period of 6 years at Burlingame (2018), Belmont (2014), San Carlos (2019), Redwood City (2016), California Avenue in Palo Alto (2016) and Santa Clara (2013) and is in geographical order north to south.
Trains depart San Francisco with power at the head end and return from San Jose in push mode. Locomotives are either F40PH-2 and its variations or P36PH-3 and its variations. Enjoy.

would loved to have seen this in the old southern pacfic steam days when the commute trains were on both sides of the bay.:)great shots .:)

@ShoresRailfan 5 лет назад

I'm old enough to remember a little about the steam-powered commute trains. My mom would take me along to pick up my dad from work in Burlingame and then return us home to San Mateo, a trip that often required us to wait at a grade crossing while those trains to roared past.

Very cool. I rode SP commute service between San Carlos and SF in the 1970's.

@TrickyPchester0948 4 года назад

You mean full speed right?

@ShoresRailfan 4 года назад

Just watched the video again.Top speed on the line is 79 MPH and most appeared to going that fast.

@mrbreadcrumb 4 года назад

6:46 this one looks like 90mph, opposed to the 79mph normal. is this common around california avenue

@ShoresRailfan 4 года назад

I never thought about it but it sure seems like it's faster than the allowed max of 79mph. Maybe it was a cowboy at the throttle trying to make up time.

@Shores Railfan The avarage amount of Caltrain action requires a lot of speed.

@@ShoresRailfan haha come on man, PTC would have popped the train at 5 over. No more Cowboy shit on the RR. The days of being drunk off of your ass, taking your call, doing a couple of lines of coke to get right, and then running a train all day over the speed limit are OVER.

@ebeyslough 2 года назад

A whopping 79 miles an hour top speed? Step aside Japan, China, Germany, France, Italy, South Korea, Kenya, Taiwan, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, India, Uzbekistan, Austria, Spain, Russia, Morocco...

What kind of horns do cal trains have?

@ShoresRailfan 4 года назад

I'm not familiar with the type air horns that Caltrain uses. I do know that they reduced the amount of air horn use at certain stations back in 2017. Perhaps someone else will have more info.

@BryantsRailfanProductions 4 года назад

Most Caltrain cab cars and locomotives uses P2s. But cab car 119 and 120 uses K2s.

@RailfanJalen 3 года назад

They use p2 horns same as the metrolink

@BryantsRailfanProductions 3 года назад

Oh yeah Caltrain MP15DCs 503 has P2 and 504 has K3LA.

@caltrain_acefoamer907 3 года назад

@aaronmiller5012 3 года назад

Right now they should remain diesel and permanently terminate the electrification project, i doubt that it would work especially in the COVID pandemic.

@hytale-cmb3238 3 года назад

Why? They can’t terminate it now the emus are almost done most of the poles and or bases are done and in some places wiring is complete why abandon it now?

@trevorderper5050 2 года назад

um then if you were the CEO of a railroad I bet you will say to bring back Alco's or if railfans were the CEO of caltrain, they will probably then use E and F units to replace their F40's

@sixfifty_sebb Год назад

They said it’s for “Better Service” when it’s already good like Look when you get on a Caltrain In San Francisco the train is packed and no one complains on how the train is diesel.

@ShoresRailfan 2 года назад

Back in the 1970's I commuted between San Carlos and San Francisco on Southern Pacific. Twice I was on a train that hit a vehicle, once at 25th Avenue in San Mateo and once at Harbor Boulevard in Belmont. No injuries since those confused drivers had vacated their vehicles before the collision.
