Background Information
A "parking track" is a temporary storage space for train equipment. The anticipated use of a San Mateo parking track is 1-2 times a month. Parking tracks allow for efficient use of limited work windows to keep the railroad functioning properly.
The previous San Mateo Parking Track was in existence prior to Caltrain becoming the operator of passenger service. Located in the Bay Meadows area, it was used by Caltrain for 25 years until the grade separation project necessitated its removal.
There are over a dozen parking tracks distributed in residential and commercial areas along the corridor. There is only one maintenance yard, which is a large 20 acre multi-acre complex operation and facility that is located in San Jose.
