Passenger Trains > Caltrain Problems Tonight???

Tonight I heard a train directed to drop their passengers at Sunnyvale, then push to Lawrence for passenger pickup. A while later mention of a bus bridge, even later mention of about 40 passengers waiting for the bus bridge - followed later by about 100 waiting. Also heard questions about those passengers needing to get to Gilroy. In the past when there has been a trespasser incident they have just backed up trains and did single tracking. Could have something gone to ground?????

SFGate reports Caltrain #381 (N/B) struck a trespasser in Mountain View

I was on 272 and we had to hold at Cal Ave indefinitely because of the ped strike. I called home for a ride.
Later I saw another train holding at MV.

Terrible when that happens... it takes a nasty toll on the engineer.

Thank you for thinking of the engineer. Having been there more than a few times during my career, it does take a toll. No fun for the conductor either who needs to walk back and view the remains.
