The full Caltrain line is around 77 miles long.
Just the San Jose <-> San Francisco portion is ~47 miles.
Caltrain's timetables give the following for San Jose Diridon Station to San Francisco 4th and King Station, weekday service:
* Train 101, local, 20 stops, 04:28 -- 06:03 (1 hour 35 minutes)
* Train 207, local south half / limited north half, 12 stops, 05:59 -- 07:24 (1 hour 25 minutes)
* Train 211, limited south half / local north half, 17 stops, 06:23 -- 07:57 (1 hour 34 minutes)
* Train 215, limited, 9 stops, 06:54 -- 08:07 (1 hour 13 minutes)
* Train 305, "Baby Bullet" pattern A, 4 stops, 05:45 -- 06:47 (1 hour 2 minutes)
* Train 309, "Baby Bullet" pattern B, 5 stops, 06:04 -- 07:08 (1 hour 4 minutes)
So the best the system manages (the 4-stop "Baby Bullet" pattern) is 62 minutes for 47 miles, averaging just over 45mph. The worst (the local making all stops) is 95 minutes for 47 miles, averaging just under 30mph.
Factoring out the time spent stopped at the stations is unfortunately not possible from Caltrain's timetables, which only give the scheduled time of departure from each station.
