Caltrain is in the process of adopting electric trains.

You obviously haven't ridden it recently because signs are posted up at the major stations about it.

That's great to hear! I haven't ridden it in years, you are right. Back then they made a survey on how much it would cost & the price tag was something ludicrous. Hundreds of millions or maybe a billion? I dunno. That was when I formulated the idea that this is lame. Much poorer countries manage electric trains. etc etc. Good to hear they are making the switch.
