Commuter Train

Caltrain is the commuter rail line that runs up the Peninsula of San Francisco. Most service starts in San Jose, some start as far south as Gilroy. Equipment used are double Deck Gallery cars. 

This service reminds me of some of the commuter lines back on the east coast. There are nice old stations with downtowns centered around them. 

In 2004 Baby-Bullet service started operation between San Jose and San Francisco. These express trains call a very few stations and have become very popular. There is talk about electrifying the line for even faster service. Lets hope so!
