Caltrain Baby Bullet Blasts Through Redwood City Station

[NVergilio]

WHY is the car next to the locomotive a cab car? Pause at 0:23 and you can see a mirror at the side of the car and a cab car window. Nice video.

@trainfreak101 why is it called a baby bullet?

[trainfreak101]

@Wonkawillie77 Its called the baby bullet because its an express service that only stops at only a few major stations along the line just like a bullet train - but travels at the same speed as regular trains. So its a "baby" bullet!

[Wonkawillie77]

@trainfreak101 Thank you for the explaination. Great vids, by the way.

[Wonkawillie77]

@trainfreak101 Ok. One more question. Sorry. Is this also called the "coaster?" I'm from New York so I know precious little about west coast trains.

[trainfreak101]

@Wonkawillie77 No... the Coaster is another commuter rail service with runs in southern california (san diego). Different company ... but they do use the same coaches (Bombardier bi-levels)

Hey trainfreak how was it near the MP36 was it loud cause i usually cover my near a motor'ed train like a F59PHI or a MP36 or any engine expect the amtrak cascades F40 cause it does not have a engine its like a cab car The amtrak cascades F40 is called a cabbage cause there is no engine in the engine room just nothing but a huge space! the F59PHI pushes the train when the cascades train is in F40 derection
