VIDEOS: CALTRAIN AND MUNI IN HD

You may remember back to my first set of Caltrain videos documenting the entire line between San Jose and the San Francisco King St terminal. I say set because I had to present it in the form of a Playlist due to the various limitations of video length on YouTube with breaks occurring at the station stops. Moreover due to the memory card capacity of my older camera I could only shoot about an hour of standard definition video which was insufficient and forced me to cut in some previous head end video I had taken.

Well today thanks to my ability my YouTube account having no length limit and my camera using 16GB SD cards I can now shoot over 80 minutes of 720p HD video on a single go and with all of the old fretting about card space out the window I could sit back and let the video run. So if you have the next 53 minutes free sit back and enjoy the ride on Caltrain's 4:25 departing 5-stop Baby Bullet run between San Jose and San Francisco.



If you are still up for more here are a pair of videos taken from the front running board of MUNI cable cars running on the Hyde Line. The first is from Powell Street to Hyde Street via Jackson and the second is from the Beach terminal all the way to Union Square in the opposite direction. Enjoy.

I'll be in San Francisco in a couple of weeks and will be checking out Niles Canyon Railway finally and the ACE Train. ACE is having a promotion with FREE rides. ACE to Stockton, go to Valley Brewing for a couple of hours and return via Amtrak to Emeryville with the bus connection to the Ferry Terminal. Ten Bucks but probably free with my pass. (shhh!)

And coming soon (now that they've released the bond funds) something along these lines:



Here's hoping Talgo resurrects the 22.

Very good! I lived in South San Francisco from 1989 to 1998, and was a fairly frequent commuter on Caltrain between SSF and the City, as well as an occasional user from SSF south. Obviously there have been a number of station improvements and grade separation and passing siding installations since those years.

My condo in SSF was right under that "South San Francisco the Industrial City" hillisde sign, which was regularly painted in Stanford red shortly before each year's Stanford-Berkeley "Big Game."
