    California, welcome to European trains! I have been riding the ODEG operated Stadler KISS2 for the past 10 years in Germany and just love them. The only downside to them are the seats, which have become rock hard over the years. Caltrain's KISS units are definitely an improvement over the older KISS units.

    I wonder what all the drivers stopped behind the gates were thinking. What things were you trying to hide with those black lines?

    I didn’t understand the conductor’s instructions occasionally about the last car?

    Californians finally getting commuter rail acceleration. Took them long enough

      Oh we've had commuter rail acceleration for decades, just not standard gauge.

      Dude, what are you talking about. BART has existed for years and it replaced a massive system of interurbans. The Bay Area has never not had electric regional rail since it was introduced in the late 19th century. LA has had a longer break without electric regional rail, but they've also brought back a good chunk of it since the 80s.
      You're thinking of Texas, Arizona, Florida, etc.

    Eric, this was obviously a Mail Run trip, stopping everywhere (even places I didn’t know it stopped). I enjoyed the trip nonetheless and wonder how long it took you to get to San Antonio? Thanks for posting.

    Why do Bay Area transit system operators insist on SO MANY F'in ANNOUNCEMENTS??? It really adds a lot of unnecessary noise and stress to commutes. They treat us like children.
