It's in progress:

As long as you're still alive in 2022 (and there are no more funding issues caused by the tie-in to HSR), it will happen within your lifetime.

Should have happened a decade or more ago, but Caltrain is the underfunded stepchild with the bulk of transit dollars going to BART.

Of course, BARTs eBART expansion is diesel, not electric.

At least it's standard gauge rail, so that's a plus.
