That train yard looks like heaven 😍 if I leave this world, I would be next to the railroad tracks 💯🔐🌍

The maintenance shop sits right on top of where the old Southern Pacific Roundhouse used to be. Until the Caltrain takeover, the commute fleet was maintained at 3 separate locations (Bayshore, San Jose, and San Francisco) while the passenger cars could either be sent to the Southern Pacific’s now gone coach yard in West Oakland or their huge shops in Sacramento depending on the level of maintenance needed.

damn, caltrain has some crazy fast wifi

[fonlai]

That Super high speed Wi-Fi on a commuter train is insane!

Amtrak did not have Wi-Fi on board!

[Caltrain]

I was just in that yard a month ago!!! I love all of the people who work here!

[SuperDave]

I definitely love this video especially got chance to look at the new Caltrain fleet. 😊

[AmtrakFunkandDiscoFan]

Caltrain also owns ex-Amtrak EMD AEM-7ACs.

Hello, @LonstarTrip I am here watching from San Jose California this plan has been actually taking place for the past 20+ years but they are finally here. I wish our precious F40PH-2C's and only ONE Original F40PH aren't scrapped.

[jessicaburdell]

Hopefully, those F40PH's they're rumored to be getting rid of go to new owners who can make just as good use of them like Music City Star, Grand Canyon Railway, NJT or Tri-Rail

[Matts_Conrail_Chicago_Mainline]

Everybody: F40s
Me: What the Hell?! What's a Budd SPV2000 doing in California?!? 1:58 and 17:42 Can we save that too while we're saving the F40s?

[lukasegeling]

The new EMUs have more power and tractive effort and a higher top speed than the UP Big Boy while being lighter. These things would be nearly untouchable in a game of Top Trumps.

[Hahlen]

8:00 the second livery choice makes the train look like it would be late 70% of the time

[LuckyFlanker]

Caltrain Maintenance looks awesome but it has a terrible location T_T; it sits on the mainline and forces trains to swerve around it, reducing train speeds.
Hopefully Caltrain planns on moving the facility when its lifetime runs out.

[DanknDerpyGamer]

14:16 What is that ... a Budd SPV-2000 in the bottom left? 0_0 Damn, those things traveled far.

[CaltrainFan]

Is There A Way To Schedule A Tour For CEMOF?

[coreywilliams-vtzb]

I'm surprised the frount trucks on the kisses are unpowered.

[barbarakilpatrick]

Jamesburg Monterey County CalFire orders lifted😷

[Mike__B]

So those new Stadler units can't be split up? It's one really long unit with multiple pivot points?

[GoofyRobloxrailfanner]

Did anyone notice a Budd SPV 2000 while watching this video

[billm.]

Those things under the cars are called "trucks" in America. You may think it sounds cool and edgy, but it just sounds ignorant. And those "European couplers" have been used by U.S. rapid transit for decades.
