Passenger Trains > ACE Runs Along The WiresDate: 03/15/23 11:02 ACE Runs Along The Wires Author: walstib Stockton-bound ACE 4, the 3:35 p.m. departure from San Jose, scoots alongside Caltrain's soon-to-be electrified mainline at College Park. A stop at Santa Clara is a couple of minutes ahead for ACE.
In the background, on the right, one of Caltrain's new Stadler electric trainsets sits at the maintenance facility.

I just noticed the wires above... seems like there's a diagonal section that doesn't line up with the existing track.

Watch for the court battles on who while pay for the repairs.

Thanks! Oliver Barrett Date: 03/17/23 14:19 Re: ACE Runs Along The Wires Author: walstib Palo Alto Daily Post had an article on Monday, I think it was.
It was reported to the board last week, I believe. Article not online. I’ll see if I can fish up a copy. Posted from iPhone Date: 03/17/23 15:30 Re: ACE Runs Along The Wires Author: walstib It was actually last week. Here it is. Posted originally in the Friends of Caltrain group on Facebook.
