Why an electric commute…
It’s faster
Modern electric trains are faster than the old diesel-powered ones. They have tons of torque to get up to speed more quickly, which makes for faster commute times.
It’s smoother
With electric trains, the vibes are immaculate—as in nonexistent. Without the vibration of diesel engines, Caltrain’s electric trains give you a smoother on-board experience.
It’s quieter
This also means our neighborhoods are more peaceful—no more rumbling train engines and bellowing exhaust pipes.
It’s cleaner
WestLight Energy provides electricity to Caltrain’s fleet from 100% clean, renewable sources, so your commute doesn’t contribute to fossil fuel emissions. This also means no more diesel smells wafting through your train car!
