Staff will provide information about upcoming activities in San Jose and Santa Clara As early as the end of August 2022, Caltrain will be energizing the traction power substation and overhead wires along the corridor in San Jose and Santa Clara. The overhead wires will provide power to the new electric trains. The purpose of this work is to test the electrified system, including the new traction power facilities that have been under construction since 2017. In addition, electrified test trains may run along the test track as early as Fall 2022. This meeting will provide an opportunity for residents to learn more about energization and testing activities, safety information and the project timeline.

ABOUT THE PROJECT Caltrain Electrification is a key component of the Caltrain Modernization Program that will electrify the Caltrain Corridor from San Francisco’s 4th and King Station to approximately the Tamien Station in San Jose and replace diesel-hauled trains with electric trains. Caltrain Electrification will improve Caltrain system performance, enable more frequent and/or faster train service, and reduce long-term environmental impacts by reducing noise, improving regional air quality and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Caltrain Electrification is scheduled to be operational by 2024. CONTACT INFORMATION Caltrain has established a project information line and project e-mail for Caltrain Electrification to record and respond to questions and comments from residents and stakeholders. The project information line can be reached at 650.399.9659 or toll free at 800.660.4287 The project e-mail is calmod@caltrain.com |
