Northbound Local
Title:  Northbound Local
Description:  Caltrain 908 shoves a northbound "100" train out of San Jose. Caltrain numbers their trains based on the service level. 100-series trains operate all day, stopping at all regular-service stops on the route between San Jose and San Francisco. 300 and 400 series trains operate during peak periods only, serving some stations served by local trains, while skipping the lesser-used stations. 500-series trains operate similar to the 300 and 400 trains, but during the mid-day slowdown. 700-series trains, branded by Caltrain as "Baby Bullets," serve only 5 stations between San Jose and San Francisco, and make the 45 mile journey in 65 minutes. This 100 train will not make the journey in quite that little time, as local trains take 1 hour and 40 minutes to traverse the line.

Sacramento-Bound Charger
Title:  Sacramento-Bound Charger
Description:  Caltrans 2108 shoves a northbound Capitol Corridor train out of Santa Clara. The Siemens Charger was built by Siemens Mobility of Florin, California, as part of a large order for Amtraks state-funded corridor trains; the Capitol Corridor, San Joaquins, Pacific Surfliner, Cascades, Illinois Services, and Michigan Services. The Chargers for California service are fitted with a special streamlined ferring at the end of the hood. This ferring accounts for the height difference between the Charger and the bi-level passenger cars used on the three California corridor services. Chargers used on Cascades and Midwest services, as well as Amtraks long-distance ALC-42s, do not have this feature.
