Community Meeting for Caltrain Electrification Project

Please join Ca1train staff for a community meeting about Caltrain electrification. Staff will provide an update about the construction activities that will be occurring in San Bruno.

In August 2017, crews began working on tree pruning/removal, utility relocation, and overhead contact system (0(S) foundation installation. Crews will soon begin the installation of the OCS poles along the rail corridor in San Bruno. The meeting will provide an opportunity for residents to learn more about the project, including the scope and schedule of upcoming construction activities.

About the Project

Caltrain electrification is key component of the Caltrain Modernization Program that will electrify the Caltrain Corridor from San Francisco's 4th and King Station to approximately the Tamien Station in San Jose and replace diesel-hauled trains with Electric Multiple Unit (EMU) trains. Caltrain electrification will improve Caltrain system performance, enable more frequent and/or faster train service, and reduce long­term environmental impacts by reducing noise, improving regional air quality and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Caltrain electrification is scheduled to be operational by 2022.
