One thing that gets me about trains in the US. That section from Tamien to San Jose, the train moves slow the entire length. In Europe, they train would accelerate to track speed between stations.

[@caltrain920andelevators4]

It’s probably moving slow because it’s on tight curves, going through the control points (switching tracks) and coming into the station!

Looking at this from EU.. Its pulling up your wooden bed to concrete and 100mph running. Like 199

By Tamien, do you mean Tanforan? That's a former horse race place in San Bruno, right on this route.

[@caltrain920andelevators4]

This constant honking-bonking is so annoying.

It’s required by the FRA to do crossing sequence.
