12:17 With the combination of the way the ditch lights flash erratically and the noise in the background, it almost seems as if the KISS is blasting lasers.

I love it! You've got the best train Europe has to offer atm. Also, great that the US dufnt cut cirners as usual, but went full power ahead. This eoectrificatuon should serve yiu 50-100 years.

This is not the "the best train Europe". It's a good commuter EMU but there are plenty of others, each has advantages and disadvantages. Also, That's a local version, not the ones that are available in Europe. The only thing you can say for sure is that this is the best EMU in the US.

Awesome video! That bell and flash rate of the ditch lights is something else...

I like these new trains but I will miss the old fleet

Wow! Very cool

Beautiful!

Very good job ❤

Sounds like they have the same horns as the FLIRTs for SBCTA.

If This Were to be ordered on the Eastern side you will see low station doors being shut inside major city stations while high level doors are opened but reverse is used unless you have a commuter rail system that alternates between high and low level platforms this is seen in the East Coast with SEPTA NJ Transit Shorline East and MARC Penn Line.

They ordered equipment that can handle both boarding heights because they may switch to high platforms when California HSR comes through. It's future proofing.

Nice video

The Bell Sound Somehow Like US Railroad Crossing.

great camera work, looks like movie shots

Do you know when the next round of testing is going to happen?

I really hope Metrolinx/Go transit orders these for the expansion project.

They’ve gone with Alstom, so even setting aside the stated intent for locomotive haulage we’re probably looking at Coradia’s. A mix of the Swedish units with the dimensions of the Metra cars doesn’t sound terrible to me.

These trains look so nice (all modern and s***). Back in 1977 I took the train from San Mateo to San Francisco - I was not impressed. Everything was worn-out. They had smoking cars back then. They were like rolling ash trays. I was totally grossed out. I vowed never to take the train again. That was a foolish vow. These trains ain't them.

The bell sounds like a kid banging something against a steel pole

Why do the platforms not go high enough to allow level boarding to even one of the door heights?

@anthonysnyder1152

Жыл бұрын

It has two boarding heights to accommodate the California High Speed Rail stations as well as the local one’s. Not quite sure how that works or why they need two heights but that’s what I’ve read

@MrAronymous

Жыл бұрын

The lower door is for the current low platforms, where passengers will need to use steps anyway. The higher doors are for future level boarding (after platforms have been converted).

@@anthonysnyder1152it's currently unclear at what height the platforms for CAHSR will be, so caltrain wanted a rolling stock that could allow for two different height levels for boarding in order to be flexible (most caltrain stations won't be upgraded to a higher platform level if that is what CAHSR decides to go with)

It is to warn pedestrians, potential passengers and railroad workers that a train is passing.

They got think of a new warning bell sound. Something more electronic. That sound is so annoying.
