Caltrain is a rail service for commuters that ranges along the San Francisco Peninsula, through the South Bay and down to Gilroy. Caltrain as we know it today began in 1992, when the Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Board took control of operations. Caltrain’s mission is to provide a “safe, reliable, sustainable modern rail system that meets the growing mobility needs of the San Francisco Bay Area region.”
Transit advocates and officials said Caltrain’s electric fleet, which launched last September, helped drive an increase in year-over-year ridership to 39% as of December 2024 — with electric trains delivering on promises of more service and smoother rides.
A Caltrain struck a vehicle on the tracks in the unincorporated community of San Martin in Santa Clara County on Monday night, a spokesperson for SamTrans said.
