Caltrain Electrification Project

The Caltrain Electrification Project aims to upgrade the Caltrain commuter rail system in California by replacing diesel trains with electric ones. This transition, set for completion in 2024, will enhance service frequency, reduce travel times, and decrease greenhouse gas emissions. The project includes building new electric infrastructure, such as overhead wires and substations, to power the trains. Ultimately, it seeks to improve public transit options, support regional growth, and provide a more sustainable alternative for commuters traveling between San Francisco and San Jose.
