They had the gate open to the yard so I just walked right in,,,plus this was one of the only good open spots in San Jose that I could find of the mainline,,,most of the worker guys were pretty chill about it and didn't really mind at all,,,however I did finally manage to kicked out at dusk when one of the employeers had to lockup for closin time and said that he would call the cops on me if i didn't leave,,but hell is sure lead to some damn good footage!
hey bryan it's been a while since this last comment but see the building with the orange stripe to the left of the train? Thats a small alleyway called Cinnabar Street, where you can get really close to the mainline, now that the maintenance center is in operation and closed to the public. my 100th video was filmed through the fence here a few days ago. you should check it out next time you're in the valley.
There was one by the College Park Station, but it's now defunct. The nearest crossing on Caltrain near San Jose is in Sunnyvale. There is also 1 behind the San Jose station for Caltrain, UP, BNSF, & Amtrak.
I think that was a P-2. Our metrolink trains come with a K5LA, but the railroad chose to mount P-2's behind the pilots, to the left of the couplers. Nice engineer!
I miss the K5LA's

Near the Diridon station, right? I once ran thru the locomotive refueling center on a whim. Didn't know where to go, and it was dark.
