Now this line is covered in glorious catenary poles and in the future, electrification catenary! How awesome!

I really love the horn on this cab car (4023) especially when it's at fast speed, the horn sounds accurate

@@gianyd1886 Well I had to retire, but there is no state income tax, some of the small things that make it a nice state to live in, though I left CA because I was tired of it after 41yrs there, in SF alone. More people are moving to the state, as long as where I’m at stays below 65k for the whole county that’s cool, right now it’s around 55k. If I were still working for Amtrak, I would have enough seniority to work out of Reno to Winemucca (sic) and back, but as mentioned had to retire due to medical issues related to a work injury. All in all it’s been good living here.

The electrification seems to be taking forever. Or is this an older video? Either way I feel they could realistically already have put poles up along the entire route by now.

Caltrain is performing preliminary grade separation work for 25th Ave, which will close Hillsdale station for six months while the work is completed and the station is rebuilt. The station is closing on May 6 of this year.
