@BermudaDunesGuy @CaHSRA @Caltrain I've seen more propaganda for expensive lane expansion projects that never fix congestion and subsequently never talk about how there's still congestion.
Also a lack of coverage on I-69, a highway that's been under construction since 1967

@TaliMarie3D it's not too unreasonable to get a hotel further south down the peninsula near a CalTrain stop and take the train in, or in the east bay near a BART stop and take BART in, if worst comes to worst

@Ethan_Mizzi @Caltrain YOU CAN, but… If they continue to single track as they have (for years), productivity of electrification crews will continue to be terrible, and the project will finish in 2025 or later. Shut it down & get some actual work done.

@AdamNMayer @Caltrain So, if one drives into the city they risk having their car broken into, and if they take public transportation they have to negotiate chaos. *sigh*

@Caltrain I’m at the 16th street crossing and only half the gates are going down when the bells start. Lot of times gates close even when no trains come.

@riley_gdr @jedwinmok @FinnleyRyan @Caltrain Nah, 6 tracks is plenty of turning capacity for a two-track line
The problem, as Clem Tillier and others have pointed out, is the disastrously-designed throat which creates unnecessary conflicts
The sharp curves don't help either

@RM_Transit @alevin Caltrain has a real problem with grade crossings. They're second only to Brightline in grade crossing-related incidents in the US. I think it's fair to want to grade separate the worst offender crossings, but full grade separation is likely infeasible.

@FinnleyRyan @jedwinmok @riley_gdr @Caltrain I think Link21 staff remarked at one point that descoping down to 2 tracks represented a risk for them. I think a better alignment is warranted, but unlikely to occur at this point, so keeping the extra track capacity for the best opportunity for through running makes sense.

@jedwinmok @Caltrain There was a great discussion about this alignment in the comments on @clem_tillier's blog, in which Richard Mylarnik produced this CAD drawing:

@jedwinmok @FinnleyRyan @Caltrain That isn’t going to fix the fact the fastest we can reasonably turn high speed service is 15 mins meaning 3TPH per track is possible.
More realistically I wouldn’t be surprised if they start with 20-25 min turns.
Caltrain could do sub 10 min turns with means 4TPH per track

@MattOsterndorf @ded_ruckus Buses are really hard because they have stops and traffic and stoplights.
_Building_ trains is quite hard, but once they're built they're generally more reliable (Caltrain murdering 3 homeless/week and shutting down for 4 hours aside)

@TheIconoclast15 @RM_Transit What's your point? As of now, Caltrain doesn't reach 110. About the time they fix the tracks and add catenary, activists will decide that providing high-speed trains for downtown office workers is racist. Then it will be back to the drawing board.

@KrCampbell99 @henryzcohen @ryxcommar certainly true for Marin, but not for East Bay or Peninsula, which are well served by BART (both) and Caltrain (Peninsula) - I get around to both with no car, no problem
Marin breaks my heart - they were going to put a train track on GGB but protoNIMBYs killed it

@Caltrain Idiotic Santa Clara County diktat. One would have to DRIVE all the way down south for a fine. It seems counter-productive. I got a better solution since it is one applied across the state. Make the "violation" legal and the issue will go away. Problem solved.

@NR_Lines @christopherink The Gilroy area has become a bedroom community and might still be affordable. And I think CalTrain goes down there. It's gotten pretty cute. There are probably other places like that that are pretty far from the Silicon Valley but not un-doable.

@JohnBauters @wmata Some other airports are near major regional rail corridors, but the connections are awkward (I'm thinking JFK, EWR, SFO if you want to get to Caltrain, etc.)
And nothing's like, say, AMS, where direct high-speed links to cities across the region are just down an escalator...
