#caltrain I used Caltrain yesterday and notices that the powers that be had put up a poster near the door. Unfortunately, they were rather clueless: they put it on a glass partition that you have to be able to see though to see the digital display that indicates the next stop. The picture below shows it almost completely hiding the display from where I was sitting.

Photo taken inside a Caltrain car showing how a poster they put up blocks the view of a display that tells you what the next stop is.

Caltrain 22nd street station still doesn’t have an elevator. So in my copious free time while I take Bart to Millbrae, I tried to call the Caltrain ADA coordinator. The voicemail system hung up on me in the middle of leaving a message.

I'm going to San Rafael on theater business today, and taking transit. Starting from the #RedwoodCity #CalTrain station.

there's a big arch that says "Climate Best by Government Test"

The Google Chrome "He's dead, Jim!" error screen on a Caltrain train status screen.

On a historical note: this building doesn't look like much but it predates #CalTrain; it's been here since the #SouthernPacific was running the commute trains.

Came down to #RedwoodCity #CalTrain this morning and saw this.
I guess the city prefers no station at all to the possibility of unhoused folks sleeping in it. Sheesh.
Just in time for the rainy season, too (when I might actually want to go in there).

This is the waiting shelter at Redwood City. It's basically a roof with some pillars holding it up, and some partial walls, but basically open air. Now a bunch of metal grates have been put up so nobody can get in there. Ticket machines have been moved out of the structure so they face the outside through precisely-sized gaps in the grates.

Found on the #CalTrain. (In my usual seat, no less!) Someone out there is on the right path… #animation #forever

A couple of years back I had the pleasure of riding commuter rail in the UK and Europe. In the bicycle spaces, they had charge points. And guess what? Wheelchair users could access the charge points as well.

And, while a 30 minute commute ride doesn't get you a full charge, it might be enough to get you home...

#BART, #CalTrain, #SMART, #SFBayFerry, #WestCAT, #GoldenGateTransit - you guys all have long trips. How about stepping up with in-transit charging?

Kaliforniens Caltrain ist gefühlt gerade erst mit hohen Mitteln elektrifiziert worden. Die Fahrgäste sind extrem zufrieden mit dem Projekt. Doch nun drohen Kürzungen. Kein Verkehr am Wochenende und am Abend plus drastische Taktverschlechterungen stehen zur Debatte. Ich hab' mir das mal genauer angeschaut.

What better way to end a Halloween ride than to get on #CalTrain at 22nd St.

Creepy commuter rail station in a trench between two tunnels, under a freeway.

Currently waiting on a train at Sunnyvale which is delayed indefinitely due to a "service disruption around Palo Alto". I am supposedly on the 421 limited northbound. #caltrain

CalTrain’s electrified train service creates enough electricity from the trains’ braking system that they can sell the electricity back to the grid 🤩

@yantor3d @ascentale @realSiegfried @bikenite A6: I figured someone might share photos of how #CalTrain bike trains are set up but I couldn't find any photos of my own of that setup. I did find tons of photos of my bike on the #BART trains though - here's how they are. No separate compartment but you can bungee your bike to the rail to keep it stable and most cars have 1-2 areas for this that can prob accomodate like 2-3 bikes-ish #BikeNite

a blue bicycle is tied up to a railing in a BART train - a sign says "Bicycle Priority Area" on a green sign behind it.

“The hope is for two round trips a day to San Jose, and looping in Amtrak’s Capital Corridor train on top of the existing, once-per-day Coast Starlight.

“'If it all worked well,' Muck says, 'it will be as early as 2028 for that to start.’”
