This seems very odd to me, but then I am accustomed to the signals on the NEC, and they are lit all the time.

They are Caltrain owned, but UPRR operates freight trains over them.

Interesting. Are these tracks CalTrain owned, or a freight right of way? Are they shared at all?

Anonymous, planes also require a large amount of C02 to construct and with how many passengers a train can seat compared to a plane i am sure trains are greener than planes.

Hi, I’m first time on your blog. I find it very interesting. I also like trains very much. I started blog about trains, but I write only my feelings connected with photos. If you want we can exchange links.
Best.

Impressive flash clock, the design is simple but it seems professional, i like the seconds pointer which might be too big but still good in terms of design display, thanks for showing your work.

Comment on Assault on Capitol Corridor (Amtrak) train engineer by ER

As far as those punks assaulting an Engineer, they should be prosecuted for committing a felony by sabotaging interstate commerce and assaulting the crew of the train, and sentenced to 20 years behind bars. I would hope the FBI would scour the area using the video from the locomotive and other evidence and stop at NOTHING until they arrest them. I would put a reward out for information leading to the arrest of the offenders. That’s serious business. A bunch of psychos stopping trains and assaulting the crew. Throw the key away. Too bad the engineer wasn’t armed. I bet he is from now on.
