    The station looks nice! It’s a shame that they didn’t make it high platform for future trains

      Future trains have 2 levels of doors

      The California high speed train will most likely having dual mode doors, meaning the door could do upper and lower platforms

      @@jackchen7003 Nope. Caltrain's new fleet has two sets of doors. CAHSR will be all level boarding. That's why Caltrain got the two-level design, so that they are able to use CAHSR platforms. But eventually all of Caltrain's stations are going to get upgraded to level boarding with high platforms. That's why the Caltrain's new Stadler EMU trains have provisions in them to permanently block off the lower set of doors once they are no longer needed.
      This was pretty much always the plan. High platforms were always planned for the entire Caltrain system. CAHSR is just accelerating that plan for Caltrain because there will be high platforms for them to use even before they do all the upgrades themselves.

    You should do a video comparing the old station and the new station.

      That's because it is a Metrolink car that Caltrain bought from them back in 2015 :D

      I think Caltrain requires their engineers to ring their bell every time they approach a grade crossing, arriving and departing each station

    Can somebody explain to me why US trains still need that darn bell. Its a throwback to the 19th century and is pointless.

      Because the FRA requires it for safety. If a train didn't have a bell, it couldn't operate over QZ's as it would make no noise
