Electric fleet set to move Caltrain into a greener future

SAN FRANCISCO -- The San Francisco Caltrain station was expectedly quiet on Sunday as regular riders seemed to get the memo that weekend service between the city and San Jose was suspended to allow final tests of Caltrain's new electric fleet.'This is the first test of eight electric trains running simultaneously,' said Dan Lieberman, Caltrain spokesperson. 'We need to make sure that the power flow to the trains is working properly and everything else is in good working order.

'This is really modernizing the system and bringing in these gorgeous new trains that are cleaner, greener -- that are going to move more people faster.'The first of its kind project in North America involves transitioning diesel trains and related infrastructure to an electrified system. Lieberman says the new system will significantly reduce emissions, improve air quality and will relieve some traffic congestion.
