Experience action and cab interaction on this historical weekend as this video was shot and thrown together in post production the last minute in trying to keep up with the many excellent You-Tube Cal-train Joneses. By the way, there is one typo in the word "San Francisco" near the beginning of the video. Didn't catch it in post...too late to correct at this time requiring re-rendering and re-publishing that would take hours.
This is a Caltrain video first...a single question quiz...and it is about as geeky as you can get in regards to the electrification Infrastructure.
Why are the droppers on the overhead contact system catenary more closely spaced at the passenger stations? Do you have an answer? Hopefully I will have one from Balfour Beatty before they leave town.

It’s all surreal seeing the electrification construction progress through the years. I can’t believe that until now, we finally get to see the EMUs in revenue action at last. 🥂

I don’t think there’s been southbound cab ride videos since before the San Bruno grade separation was even considered. I never knew about overhead rail in the tunnels. Awesome video!

That’s because you can’t have a cab ride in an engine. Not allowed under fra and union rules.

Now we just gotta get rid of the law that requires them to blow the horn at every crossing and station and it’s perfect.

Finally, I wonder why between San Jose-Diridon and Tamien, Caltrain only uses 1 of the tracks, with only 1 track electrified?

I'd think it would be due to a desire to ensure that the ocs doesn't sag to where it could come into contact with anyone on the platform. Also it will be a long time before those of us riding south of Tamien will see emu/bemus. 😞

In regards to the speed display, that might be a part of the ATP (automatic protection system) that has not been fully implemented although by law since passengers are being carried now it should be operational...just a guess..I'm probably wrong.

I really wish the MBTA in the Boston area would get a battery electric version of this train? This train would have separate entrances for different platform heights allowing for better passenger flow and making it easier for the conductors since they don't have to manually open the traps. Also given this train can technically travel up to 110mph, it can cut down travel time while on the northeast corridor sessions of the MBTA Commuter Rail. Maybe the version for the MBTA might even go up to 125 mph for all you know (same speed as Amtrak Northeast Regional trains).

These are the same fools that recently junked the electric trackless trolleys and replaced them with diesel buses. Wait until they find out that battery technology has a long way to go, especially in extreme weather conditions. These are the same fools who run diesel locomotives under live electric catenary wires all the way from Boston to Providence, R. I. Duh .........

@@Spaceshotx7it’s not worth the it for trains. It’s much better to electrify the whole railway.

@@miles5600 I would be for fully electrifying the entire mbta Commuter Rail network with overhead wires. Problem is to do so would cost more money, and it would be longer before the first electric trains start running. As it is, it took over 8 years from the time the EMUS were ordered, to the time they were in service on Caltrain. Plus there would be some clearance issues with installing overhead wires on parts of the MBTA Commuter Rail network.

@@Spaceshotx7 i don’t really see the problem here, better to start now then 10, 20, or even 30 years later. Also we can easily spend billions on highways while rail is crumbling to pieces with 100+ year old infrastructure. Other nations kept heavily investing into their rail like The Netherlands and they now have one of the most complex rail systems on the planet with no errors and a lot of automation. America needs to try again.

Because people complain about the noise so Caltrain decided to make it into a quiet zone 👍

Anyone know what "target speed 0 mph" means on the display?
@miles5600
@miles5600 Месяц назад
I think it means that the digital system that tells the driver the speed it’s supposed to go isn’t working yet. It sure will on Sep 21st
@rngrobe4104
@rngrobe4104 Месяц назад
That's a cruise control, set it to the desired target speed, set throttle to max and the trajn will just use the amount of energy, it needs to reach and maintain the selected speed. Not sure, if it is really useful on an all stopping service, I guess, it's maybe better for express services, when you drive the next 5 or 10 miles, to assure not to exceed the line speed.
