What a brilliant sight! Finally, those on the peninsula have stellar train transport. Albeit a Dutchman, I grew up in Palo Alto in the '60s and '70s. When I took Caltrain, I found the service wanting. Fifty years later, I am utterly pleased and excited. Now retired and back in the fatherland, I am fortunate to have access to very good public transport. Let's hope that public transport in the Bay Area continues to improve.
It would've been interesting if you could've heard the difference between the US 60Hz and the DACH 17Hz electricity from the transformer whine. But yeah, they sound exactly the same.

Wow. They sound exactly the same as the KISS here in germany.
@@MrLOLCraftLP1 I believe they’re made by Stadler and the Model is KISS
@@jerrythemouse28 Indeed. CalTrain uses KISS trains built by Stadler in the US, but honestly i thought they would sound different 😅

@@tharqal2764 Transformer is very quiet on these things. The Hungarian 50Hz version sounds the same
@@tharqal2764 exactly! but in Germany and Austria we use 16,7 Hz or 16 2/3 Hz
Not much quieter. Especially the ear piercing squeeck sound when the door opens or closes. We need to become more "European" with these trains.
Very glad to see USA stepping into 21st century finally in terms of rail transport....
