In June 2004, Caltrain finished its two-year CTX (Caltrain Express) project to implement a new express service called the Baby Bullet. Events January events January 1 - METRORail Light rail service in Houston Texas, opens The project entailed the construction of new bypass tracks in Brisbane and Sunnyvale as well as a new centralized traffic control system. Centralized traffic control ( CTC) is a signalling system used by Railroads The system consists of a centralized Train dispatcher 's office The Baby Bullet trains reduced travel time by stopping only at five stations between San Francisco and the San Jose Diridon Station. Diridon Station (formerly the Cahill Depot or the Southern Pacific Depot; also known as San José Diridon or Downtown San José-Diridon Station The faster express trains could overtake slower local trains at the two locations where bypass track were installed. As a result, the travel time between San Francisco and San Jose for the express service is 57 minutes, a savings of 33 minutes compared to the 1 hour and 30 minutes for the local service. While the top speed of the Baby Bullets is the same as the slower local trains, fewer stops allow the expresses to maintain their top speed of 79 mph (127. 1 km/h) for a much longer duration, cutting travel time significantly. (For the South African airport with IATA code "KMH" see Johan Pienaar Airport. In addition, the CTX project included the purchase of new Bombardier BiLevel Coach trainsets along with MPI MP36PH-3C locomotives for the express service. Bombardier BiLevel coaches are bilevel passenger cars designed to carry up to 360 passengers for Regional railways These carriages are easily identifiable A train is a connected series of vehicles that move along a track ( Permanent way) to transport freight or passengers from one place to another The MPXpress is a passenger Locomotive designed for commuter service [4] The Baby Bullets have proved to be extremely popular with riders. However, as the service bypasses most stations, many riders experience longer commutes due to having to take one of the fewer non-bullet trains, some of which operate more slowly in order to allow the Baby Bullet trains to pass them. [5]

Starting from May 2005, Caltrain implemented a series of fare increases and schedule changes in response to a projected budget shortfall. Year 2005 ( MMV) was a Common year starting on Saturday (link displays full calendar of the Gregorian calendar. The frequency of the popular Baby Bullet express trains was increased in order to bring in additional revenues; two express trains were added in May and another ten were added in August. New Baby Bullet stops, also known as Pattern B stops, were also introduced. Another increase of US$0. 25 in basic fare was implemented in January 2006. Year 2006 ( MMVI) was a Common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. All these efforts helped stablize Caltrain's budget and increase the daily ridership from 28,000s to 32,000s. [6]

Major Plans

Downtown San Francisco extension

An additional 1. 3 mile (2. 1 km) tunnel has been proposed to extend Caltrain from the current northern terminus in San Francisco at 4th and King to a rebuilt Transbay Terminal,[11] where it would be much closer to the job center of San Francisco and connect directly with BART, Muni, crossbay AC Transit buses, and long-distance buses. San Francisco Transbay Terminal, or simply Transbay Terminal, is a transportation complex in San Francisco California, USA, located roughly in the The Financial District is a Neighborhood in San Francisco, California that serves as its main Central business district.

Events By month January events See also January 2012 in rail transport January Events 31 January Events &ndash The Downtown San Francisco Extension is scheduled to open

Dumbarton Rail

Caltrain has been chosen to provide commuter rail service on a to-be-rebuilt Dumbarton rail corridor across the San Francisco Bay between the Peninsula and Alameda County in the East Bay. Commuter rail, regional rail or suburban rail is a Passenger rail transport service between a city center and outer suburbs and Commuter towns The Dumbarton Bridge is the southernmost of the highway Bridges that span the San Francisco Bay in California. San Francisco Bay is a shallow productive Estuary through which water draining from approximately forty percent of California, flowing in the Sacramento Alameda County is a county in the US state of California. It occupies most of the East Bay region of the San Francisco Bay Area. The East Bay is a subregion of the San Francisco Bay Area, California, United States and comprises Alameda and Contra Costa Counties This project would add four stations to the Caltrain system: Union City, Fremont-Centerville, Newark, and Menlo Park/East Palo Alto. Union City is a city in Alameda County, California, United States. Fremont (ˈfriːmɒnt is a city in California, USA that was incorporated on January 23, 1956, from the merger of five smaller communities Centerville Newark is a city in Alameda County, California, United States. Menlo Park is an affluent City in San Mateo County, in the San Francisco Bay Area of California East Palo Alto (often called EPA) is a city in San Mateo County, California, United States. The two obsolete swing bridges along the corridor would be replaced. [13] Dumbarton Rail is scheduled to start construction in 2009 after a 30-month environmental review, and begin service in 2012.

The bridge has not been used since 1982, when it was still owned by SP, and about 33% of the bridge collapsed due to an arson fire in 1998.

South of Gilroy extension

Caltrain also has plans for south of Gilroy extension. This project would extend Caltrain service into Monterey County, just southwest of Santa Clara County. Monterey County is a county located on the Pacific coast of the U Santa Clara County is a County located in the San Francisco Bay Area of the U The planned terminus is Salinas with intermediate stops at Pajaro (Watsonville Junction) and Castroville. Salinas is the County seat and largest municipality of Monterey County in the U Pajaro is a Census-designated place (CDP in Monterey County, California, United States. Castroville is a Census-designated place (CDP in Monterey County, California, United States. Depending on state and federal funding availability and a possible local sales tax measure, this service could start in 2010. For the film see 2010 The Year We Make Contact. For the book see 2010 Odyssey Two. This project is managed by Transportation Agency for Monterey County (TAMC). TAMC published the Final Environment Impact Report (EIR)[16] for this project in 2006. An ( EIA) is an assessment of the possible impact&ndashpositive or negative&ndashthat a proposed project may have on the Natural environment. Year 2006 ( MMVI) was a Common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. This would re-establish rail service last provided by Southern Pacific Railroad's Del Monte.

Service to Hollister along a spur separate from the Monterey County extension has also been proposed. Hollister is a city in and the County seat of San Benito County, California, United States. [17]

Weekend service, especially during the summer, could also be provided to Santa Cruz via Watsonville;[18] however, public purchase of the line from Watsonville to Santa Cruz is being fought by certain activists from nearby Aptos. Aptos is a Census-designated place (CDP in Santa Cruz County, California, United States. .

Electrification

The proposed Caltrain electrification project would convert the Caltrain mainline between San Francisco and San Jose from the current diesel-electric locomotive power source to a fully electric rolling stock. The City and County of San Francisco is the fourth most populous city A Diesel locomotive is a type of Railroad Locomotive in which the prime mover is a Diesel engine. [19] Electrification would improve service times via faster acceleration, enable more fine-grained scheduling, and reduce pollution and noise. Electrification also allows future expansion to downtown San Francisco.

Although the project has an estimated total cost of $600–865 million,[20] some of these costs can be offset by savings of $1–2 million a year in fuel and other saved costs. Electrified vehicles require less maintenance, but electrification will increase required track maintenance by approximately the same dollar amount, at least initially. Caltrain plans to complete electrification by 2014. 2014 ( MMXIV) will be a Common year starting on Wednesday of the Gregorian calendar. [21]

The electrification project between San Francisco and San Jose is the first of two project phases, with the second phase between Tamien and Gilroy. [22] The capital cost, excluding electric rolling stock, for the first phase is estimated at $471 Million (2006 dollars). Options for the new electric rolling stock include electric locomotives with new or overhauled passenger cars, or electric multiple units. An electric multiple unit or EMU is a Multiple unit train consisting of many carriages using Electricity as the motive power Caltrain plans to retain the newer diesel-electric rolling stocks for Dumbarton and south of Tamien service.

Wireless Internet Access

In 2006, Caltrain announced that wireless internet access (using WiMAX) would be available to passengers, at no additional charge, by the end of 2007. WiMAX, an approximate acronym of Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access, is a Telecommunications technology that provides for the wireless transmission [23] Caltrain invested more than $1 Million in researching and testing WiFi in 2006. The Caltrain Board of Directors voted at their August 30, 2007 meeting to keep the project from proceeding by rejecting both bids to provide the service, citing both bids not meeting the expectation of Caltrain. Caltrain still hopes to offer the service eventually as part of a more comprehensive communication package. [24]

Ticketing of Caltrain service is provided based upon the number of zones traveled (see above). Year 1999 ( MCMXCIX) was a Common year starting on Friday (link will display full 1999 Gregorian calendar) Tickets must be purchased before boarding, and will be checked at various times during travel. Discounts are available for 10-ride tickets and monthly passes. Seniors, children and the disabled ride for roughly half price (varies depending on the ticket). One-way fares are as follows (as of 2007-08-14):

The zone-based approach to ticketing requires little infrastructure at the stations but can be disproportionately expensive for passengers only traveling a few stops and crossing a zone boundary. For example, to travel from Sunnyvale to Lawrence (2. 0 miles / 3. 2 km) requires a $4. 00 ticket, while traveling from Millbrae to Redwood City (11. 7 miles / 18. 8 km) requires only a $2. 25 ticket.

In the spring of 2008, CalTrain will become the fifth public transit agency in the San Francisco bay area to implement Translink, the smart fare card that will allow seamless transfers between participating agencies. TransLink is a rechargeable dual-interface (contact/contactless stored value Smart card Fare collection system being implemented in the San Francisco Bay Area Single rides, 10-ride tickets, and montly passes will all be available on Translink.

Cost and Budget

( formed in 1896 is a major Rolling stock manufacturer based in Nagoya, Japan. Caltrans purchased the first 63 gallery cars in 1985 when it began subsidizing the commuter rail service. The California Department of Transportation ( Caltrans) is a Government department in the U Year 1985 ( MCMLXXXV) was a Common year starting on Tuesday (link displays 1985 Gregorian calendar) The other 30 were purchased by Caltrain in 2000, and the older cars were rebuilt by Nippon Sharyo around the same time. 2000 ( MM) was a Leap year that started on Saturday of the Common Era, in accordance with the Gregorian calendar. [30] Each gallery car has one set of exit doors on each side of the car.

Caltrain purchased 17 Bombardier BiLevel Coaches in 2002, of which 10 are coaches, 5 are cab-bike cars, and 2 are cab-wheelchair cars.

[30] Some of the Bombardier BiLevel Coaches were bought from the Sounder Commuter Rail. Service History North Line The Everett to Seattle line started with a Seahawks Game train on December 21, 2003. Since the Bombardier cab-bike cars can only carry one half the bikes of a Nippon Sharyo car, Caltrain typically runs two cab-bike cars on high-demand trains, with one at the tail and second ahead of the locomotive. Bombardier Inc (bɔ̃baʁdje is a Canadian conglomerate, founded by Joseph-Armand Bombardier as L'Auto-Neige Bombardier Limitée in 1942 Initially, Bombardier cars were used exclusively on Baby Bullet express trains, but when Caltrain adapts its current schedule of 96 trains per weekday, they are treated the same as any other passenger cars and used on various type of trains in order to increase their utilization rate.

Caltrain formerly used "Boise Budd" single-level cars it bought from Virginia Railway Express as Special-Event trains. The Virginia Railway Express (VRE is a commuter rail service that connects the Northern Virginia area with Washington DC. These were sold after becoming obsolete. They are now in service on the Grand Canyon Railway. The Grand Canyon Railway, is a passenger Railroad and Heritage railway which operates between Williams Arizona, and the South Rim of Grand Canyon

Bicycle access

Caltrain was one of the first commuter rail services to add bicycle capacity to its trains. The bicycle, cycle, or bike is a pedal-driven, human-powered vehicle with two wheels attached to a frame, one behind On the older gallery Nippon Sharyo fleet, every cab car is designed to carry 32 bicycles. On the other hand, most cab cars on the newer Bombardier fleet are designed to carry 16 bicycles. Consequently, bike capacity on trains ranges from 16 to 64 bicycles. However, folding bicycles are not restricted and can be carried on any car when folded.

All bicycle cars are marked by a yellow bike decal on the outside. Onboard the bicycle cars, the cyclists are required to secure their bicycle to the rack using the bungee cord provided. A bungee cord is an elastic cord composed of one or more elastic strands forming a core covered in a woven sheath usually of nylon or cotton Each rack can accommodate four bicycles. Because the bikes are stacked together against the racks, most riders place a destination tag on their bicycles to optimize placement and minimize shuffling. [31][32]

The variation on bicycle capacity between trainsets has generated criticisms from the bicycling community, as cyclists are denied boarding when a train reaches its bicycle capacity. The Baby Bullet service, favored by many cyclists, is routinely operated with lower-bike capacity Bombardier trainsets and cyclists may be forced to wait for slower trains operated with higher-capacity gallery cars, or seek alternate transportation, such as driving. [33]

Due to equipment rotation and maintenance concerns, Caltrain says it cannot dedicate higher-bike capacity trainsets on trains with high bike demand. Caltrain has also rejected removing seats to increase bicycle capacity because some trains are operated at seated capacity[34] and the seat removal would take space from other fare-paying passengers.

To provide an alternative to bringing bicycles onboard the trains, Caltrain has installed bicycle lockers at most stations, and constructed a new bicycle station at the San Francisco station. [34] A bicycle station was open at the Palo Alto station from April 1999 to October 2004, and reopened in February 2007. April 1999 was a month with thirty days The following events also occurred during the month October 2004: January - February - March - April - May - June - July - August - September - February 2007 is the second month of the year It began on a Thursday and 28 days later ended on a Wednesday. [35]. In early 2008, the CalTrain sponsored Warm Planet bicycle station opened at the 4th and Townsend terminus.

On the Bombardier equipment, due to concerns of crowding the exit/entry doors, the northernmost door is designated the bike entry door, and the rear is to exit.
