So, the electrification spoken of in the early 90s is still just talk. It might happen after SAS phase 2. And, yes any of us with experience of real commuter services knows Caltrain is sub par. That said, it still is gaining riders. If they could force the NIMBYs to shut up and get both the wires and a real 4 track mainline, we could see ridership soar. |
