What's with the psychotic laughter?

The people can wait like everyone else if the trains were to do this @ every stop think how delayed they would be

[dancena2]

?These dont look like baby bullet trains.

[caltrainfan]

@dancena2 Caltrain doesn't always have the Bombardier sets used for Baby Bullet service, since there is only 5 of them and 22 baby bullet services a day. So Caltrain uses anything available.

@caltrainfan I know for sure that Caltrain uses gallery sets on some baby bullet express trains on purpose, particularly the two-bike car ones, because the baby bullet trains are often crowded, especially that almost all of them go from/to SF, Palo Alto, Mountain View, and SJ, which attract lots of bike passengers. In addition the gallery sets have more room for bikes than the five Bombardier sets do. In the Bombardier bike cars, you have to keep trying to wiggle your bike in and out of the rack

[Taipei127]

@dancena2 It's express service that Caltrain calls "Baby bullet" because traditionally "Baby Bullet Express" were often served by Bombardier trainsets, which look like bullet trains even though they're not, and because they only stop at the most major and popular stations. They use their typical and older stainless steel gallery trainsets for Baby Bullet Express Service as well, or if they don't have enough equipment.

It sure looked as if you were giving the engineer the finger, where was the conductor at where you would be aiming your middle finger upwards towards the engineers direction? LOL!

[Taipei127]

@NARSConductor Who cares? Too late now lol. Both have to take the blame for leaving that one guy behind and shutting the door in his face and allowing him to stand out there in the pouring rain. So what if they're gonna need an extra 1 minute?

[tristatelocoworks]

Serves that moron right, he should have been there on time to catch his train...

[Taipei127]

@tristatelocoworks I bet it sucks for him for not being there soon enough so he gets to wait in the rain lol. Shouldn't be too sympathetic about that.

Videoographer uses naughty words. Heads up parents!

[caltrainfan]
