The one at the western railway museum was still working as of last year!

Caltrain has 2 working AEM-7s! They are going to use them for electrification testing

Not sure of the exact details, but it looks like Alstom figured out accessibility and double deck coaches on the new TGV M Accessibility to every area of the train for all passengers. This is the first TGV to be designed in close collaboration with wheelchair user groups from the very...

Didn’t see it listed - Roaring camp in Felton, CA operates daily steam trains through the redwood forest https://www.roaringcamp.com/

What horns do they have?

Hopefully they reschedule it sooner rather than later!!

I’m on an Alaska airlines flight and they announced no more mask mandate … my timing is terrible

I’m in the Bay Area, so I’ll definitely be heading up to Roseville to see it. Hopefully I can catch it as it arrives/leaves as well

https://sf.streetsblog.org/2022/03/23/first-caltrain-electrics-arrive/ First trainset has arrived!!!

Muni, caltrain, VTA, and most transit agencies in the Bay Area are POP… only Bart is not

Not officially but there might be a few hanging around. Also Uber/Lyft is easy enough and will pick up right in front

Yeah that’s pretty much what I’m saying. I think Speeding up the slow potions, even by a minute or two here and there - matter. Not getting to some crazy top speed number. And I agree on adding frequency!

I think every little bit helps. 2 min here, 1 min there ... it all adds up and overall time savings add up over time as all these small improvements happen. It doesn't have to be 220mph (for example) or nothing.

What is the third option? Where is says multiple trains

I guess Im in the minority, but I actually prefer the CS route north of sac... I love the forests, rivers, etc, that the CS goes through in Washington, Oregon, and Northern California. To me its a toss up of scenery vs how big of a detour it is/extra time. The middle of CA is ok, but it gets...
