On Saturday, Caltrain officially ushered in a new era by launching fully electric service between San Francisco and San Jose.
This was the culmination of a $2.4 billion project that broke ground in 2017.'This is a vastly improved railroad. The trains are so much better, they're so much nicer,' said Caltrain spokesperson Dan Lieberman. 'This is a generational change, one we're really proud to be a part of.'Caltrain now has a fleet of 37 electrified trains. They're more eco-friendly and much faster than the agency's diesel locomotives used for decades.
Some train numbers are changing, however, so those who plan to commute on Monday should be aware of that.With fully electrified service, the move will help Caltrain meet its climate action goals.'For the future generations, this is going to be a really important deal in terms of reducing emissions and protecting the climate,' said Joshua Apte, a professor of environmental engineering and environmental health sciences at UC Berkeley.
