Yup not to mention that the fumes from diesel engines got into the cars so you tended to avoid the ones close to the engine. Its a HUGE qol improvement!

- stevenwoo 2y agoAlso makes waiting at either end, San Jose or San Francisco more pleasant with cleaner air to breathe instead of fumes if you are a little early.
- saagarjha 2y agoSan Jose unfortunately has the Gilroy commuter trains idling in the station :(
- arcticbull 2y agoFor now. They're replacing them with battery-electric trains that can go past Tamien. Yeah, it should just have caternaries the whole way down but you know how rail is around here -- owned by Union Pacific, and the federal government prevents municipalities from exercising eminent domain to take control of railways.
- stevenwoo 2y agoI did not know that. I checked the schedule for those when I had jury duty in Morgan Hill and it was always never the right time and/or in the wrong direction, so I had to take the bus from the Diridon station to make my jury duty appointments.
- saagarjha 2y agoYeah they only run in the “I commute to SF during the day” direction unfortunately.
