- It was a Saturday, and Caltrain shut down service for the weekend to test 8 electric trains on the corridor at once. I was in the right place at the right time

To be honest, Amtrak should’ve done that along time ago with the Northeast corridor, replacing the fleet cars for the Midwest and short haul corridor services outside the northeast corridor, the sister cars that are used on the long distance trace are sufficient enough for the same services that they currently operate on. Although I’ve seen a few of those long-distance track cars on short haul trains around the Chicago area in the last few days. I can only imagine what California would look like if they had those electric cars that Caltrain has now
Much quieter with these trains. I wish we had them here in the Northeast.
Lo tenemos aqui en el Sur , el Quinto Mundo, eso tras una guerra civil y sanciones y bloqueos de EEUU, quiza por eso se aposto por el sistema electrico, desde los años 60, pero desde 1927 ya habia una linea Madrid Barcelona electrica, lo que se fue haciendo desde entonces es mejorarlo hasta llegar a esto. ua-cam.com/video/w7PLztz4WCw/v-deo.htmlsi=yzd9DrWN1Z19Xkg2&t=1
@@fcjose31 Gran vídeo, y gracias por la información. Me encanta la red de alta velocidad de España.
@@TheRailwayDrone En EEUU parece descuidaron el sistema de Ferrocarril, en Europa es importante, aqui es transporte publico aunque en Alta velocidad hay competencia, con OUIGO, IRYO, AVLO y AVE, AVLO es low Cost de Renfe y OUIGO el Low Cost de SNCF Frances, por eso hay precios muy bueno comprando con antelacion puede costar unos 9€ de Madrid a Barcelona o Madrid a Valencia, hay buenas ofertas.
@@fcjose31 Cada vez que defendemos el tren de alta velocidad en los EE. UU., hay oposición y a ellos principalmente les gusta hacer la afirmación de que los EE. UU. son un país grande y menos poblado que Europa. Pero luego tenemos varias ciudades importantes que están experimentando un crecimiento demográfico y esto ha empeorado el tráfico en las carreteras.
Lo más cercano que tenemos en este momento es el Corredor Noreste que va desde Washington, D.C. a Boston, pero los trenes no funcionan con los estándares tradicionales europeos de alta velocidad. Afortunadamente, California está construyendo dos ferrocarriles de alta velocidad.
@@TheRailwayDrone En España tras la guerra civil habia quedado destruido el Ferrocarril, la Dictadura lo compro a los banqueros Britanicos que eran los propietarios, lo nacionalizo, pero en 1992 que fue cuando se hizo la primera linea de alta velocidad, si habia mucha discusion, aunque hicieron esa primera Madrid a Sevilla, luego al cambiar el gobierno empezaron a hacer a otros lugares, ahora somos el segundo pais del Mundo por KM y el primero en Lineas, pero aqui las ciudades se diseñan para tener todo cerca de casa, supermercados, escuelaas, parques polideportivos, tenemos cerca de casa mucho transporte publico, por eso aunque tengamos auto particular casi ni lo usamos, aqui explican un poco como se diseña en España las ciudades para tener todo cerca de casa. ua-cam.com/video/46gpQddyFFg/v-deo.htmlsi=LlZoUKluIAspqNyd&t=1
Indian railways has already installed electrification on over 60,000 kilometers of mainline rail. In just two years all mainline trains in India will be electric powered. The US could and indeed should have done this decades ago. If India can solve this problem just 75 years after the British empire completely destroyed and bankrupted their country why the hell can't the US and Canada do it? Having just 1% of American mainline railroads electrified is a national embarrassment. When the next oil shock comes most American railroads will be in big trouble. Septa and Indian railways will keep right on rolling like nothing happened because they took care of their business before it was too late.
idk either we stupid or the government dont give the railroad money cause we addicted to cars (im not tho i hate cars)
@goofyahhnerdyy the biggest problem is that the railroads in America and Canada are privately owned. In most countries, the national government owns a 100% stake in all railroads on its territory. While state owned enterprises aren't the right answer for every industry in the case of railroads, it is absolutely the best option. But even without a nationalized railroad, I still think we should solve this problem. Big oil killed a plan to electrify 1/3 of the American railroad network in 1975 after the 1973 oil crisis. The next oil crisis will probably be far worse than the one in 1973. Indian railways is ready for it. The American railroads will be devastated. Sometimes, people refuse to learn anything anyway other than the hard way. We're all going to pay for the arrogance and stupidity of the railroad CEOs, unfortunately. They have spent so much time bending over backward for big oil. I don't think they even know how to stand up straight anymore.
Most of the mainlines are privately operated and have little money to spend that’s spared off unless they compromised.
@@QuarioQuario54321 ah ok
It's simple, freight companies own most of the rails on the US and Canada.
I like those electronic displays a lot better as opposed to the number boards on the side on the locomotive and cab car that display L5or L6 or B7
Caltrain has number boards in the metrolink cars, I literally don’t even know why they don’t use them
Stadler Kiss 160 is a great unit.. most need to upgrade to it..
1:33 that’s in service already?!?
Testing
It looks weird to see the Stadler Flirt in the usa
Reminiscent of an electric train Stadler Kiss, which began operation in Azerbaijan (Baku) in 2015, and in Russia (Moscow) in 2017.
They are stadler kiss.
Interesting bells, not too fond of them don't know why they didn't use the standard E bell but I am a big fan of these new electric trains
Yeah. They sound the same as the bells on VTA Light Rail
we like diesel better i truly do not think they know exactly what they are doing Safeway may 2004 new delhi…😷
