lol im sorry but those bombardier cars are sexy as hell and make those other Nipponsharyo cars look like ugly moving tin cans

I agree, the Bombardier cars are way sexier. You can find them not only on CalTrain but Metrolink (which I ride), GO Transit, Sounder, ACE and Coaster systems. There's probably one or two more I'm not aware of that use them.

@cchan006 actually ive seen those combos before, and theres ususally one per day now. Ive also seen the F40PHs pulling the bombardier cars
-
Thanks @yardlet6 that's true. Lines with tighter operating envelopes like the Long Island Railroad, New Jersey Transit, Metro North or Chicago's Metra use more compact cars like Bombardier's "Multi-level" car or the like.

@MrRoddygee Except for New York area commuter lines. Low clearances.

Orlando's Sunrail, Miami's Tri-rail, Salt Lake City's FrontRunner, Minneapolis Northstar, Montreal's AMT, etc. etc. They're everywhere. Interestingly, the original design was built by a publicly funded effort to supply Toronto's GO Transit system. They've since been purchased and improved by Bombardier and sold all over the continent.

@eaglehockey16: It's in Sunnyvale, very close to the border with Santa Clara.

Do they still have the baby bullet train, that only has the baby bullet car in the front, but they use the original silver cars as the passenger cars?
