America Is Finally Getting Some Good Transit – Caltrain’s Game-Changing New EMUs

Howdy folks,

Finally, on September 21st, the new ‪@caltrain‬ EMUs made by Stadler took over the Peninsula corridor between San Francisco and San José Diridon. Justin was on board to take a look at these brand-new trains that will boost transit in the Bay Area!

Many thanks to Justin for filming on my behalf :)
