Caltrain's electrification project is ultimately intended to reduce noise, improve air quality and lower greenhouse gas emissions.
Caltrain has hit a major milestone in its goal to electrify a Bay Area rail corridor, though it will be a while before any newfangled locomotives start taking on San Francisco riders.
The testing is part of a Caltrain program to electrify the rail corridor from the San Francisco Caltrain Station to the Tamien Caltrain Station. Caltrain's electrification project is ultimately intended to reduce noise, improve air quality and lower greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, the company noted electric trains can accelerate and decelerate more quickly than diesel-powered trains, which will allow Caltrain to provide more frequent and faster train service.
