Just a few things to clarify-
- CalTrans owns or leases almost all of the equipment they run on the Capitol Corridor and San Joaquin. On rare occasions you-ll see an Amtrak car or locomotive thrown in, but it-s not common. Especially since the pandemic began.
- The original order of California cars (California I) were ordered in the late 1980s and delivered in the early 1990s (between 1991-1993 I believe. The Alstom refurbishment about ten years ago was done between 15 and 20 years into their service life. These cars are exclusively used on the NorCal routes (Capitol Corridor and San Joaquin, and have rarely been seen in SoCal (Most recent was for the two weeks following the Montecito mudslide, when train service and ferries were the only way to access Santa Barbara. California sent a number of extra cars and locomotives south to expand the Pacific Surfliner trains, which were seeing crush loads of 800-1, 000 people getting into and out of Santa Barbara.
-The second order of California Cars (California II, or Surfliner) was placed in the late 1990s and delivered between 2000 and 2002. About half of these cars are owned by Amtrak, the other half by California. There are a handful of California-owned Surfliner cars down south, but most of the Cali-owned ones are actually mixed in with the California I cars up north. All of the Amtrak-owned cars are used on the Surfliners. The plan as I understand it is for California to transfer down all of the Cali II -Surfliner- cars to SoCal once the new Siemens Venture trainsets are all delivered and in service on the San Joaquin route. This will greatly expand capacity on all three routes.
-CalTrans HATES reclining seatbacks. They prefer seat designs where the bottom cushion slides forward to recline, rather than the seatback dropping back. When they refurbished their Cali II cars they replaced the original reclining seats with the seats with the red handles you don-t like. The seats are not particularly well liked. CalTrans also gave Amtrak money and asked them to do the same to the Amtrak-owned cars, but Amtrak refused to make that change, leading to a huge dispute between CalTrans and Amtrak shortly before the pandemic. To my knowledge it-s still unresolved.
-The bouncy doors have always been a problem. Worst is when they bounce so hard that they break the -door closed- circuit, causing the engine to stop producing power. It hasn-t been resolved after 30 years.

The cab car on your train is indeed a Surfliner coach. The last 12 cars of that order have always been intermingled with the original California Cars as they were there to expand capacity. There are a few ways to tell the two apart:
1. The numbers. Surfliners are in the 6000 series (cab cars are 6900 series, and California Cars are in the 8000s (cab cars are 8300 series.
2. Fluting. The fluting (grooved pattern) on the sides of the Surfliner cars only extends partially below the upper row of windows. For California Cars, the fluting goes all the way from the upper windows to the tops of the doors.
3. Equipment. Only California Cars have that digital announcement board at 4: 38. For cab cars only, there are some more equipment differences. On Surfliners, the horn is placed low, right above the snowplow, while California Cars have their horns mounted on the roof. California cab cars also have an orange flasher light on the roof that the Surfliner lacks, and two-piece marker light cutouts. On the Surfliner, the cutout basically fits the marker light (the red light between the numberboard and driver's cab window, but on California Cars, there is a blanked-out -dummy- headlight inboard of the markers - these used to be functional, but were removed because they did not meet FRA code.

Hi, love your trip reports. Quick comment regarding the fourth car on your train, it is a Surfliner car. The original California cars were used on all three of the state supported Amtrak routes and there was a plan to make a commuter version for caltrain as well, which obviously never developed. When the state of California ordered the California Cars 2. 0 they made the decision to shift all of the existing fleet to northern California and that's why the new cars were branded the Surfliner cars. But something like 12 of the new cars were also sent to the northern California fleet and painted to match the existing California cars. They weren't repurposed from the Surfline, they were always intended to go there to expand that service. And as service has expanded they need more cars still which is why they've paid to refurbish damaged superliners and has placed for the 3. 0 California cars that have now been switched out for single levels. I'm guessing all of the surfliner cars in 1. 0 paint will move down to the Surfliner when the Venture cars take over on the San Joaquin. But that's just a guess.

Use to take this the Capitol Corridor daily between Emeryville and Santa Clara during Silicon Valley's gold rush. I loved Tiki and Hawaiian shirt Fridays where the bar was open and the cars were loaded with commuters. Sorry to hear they still have not fixed all the doors. Thanks for the memories Tres merci! BTW I usually load the family and go from Emeryville to Sacramento on the Capitol Corridor. So nice to enjoy while everyone else is stuck on Interstate 80. It would be nice for you to go to Sacramento and pay a visit to the the Sacramento Old Railroad Museum. A lot of western railroad history there! and it is a very short walk from the Sacramento station. I see you riding these bullet trains all over the world, and I envy you. While we here in California are still failing miserably trying to get high speed rail between Los Angeles and San Francisco. It is decades away. Morocco has a bullet train, Panama gets a new Metro, and yet we are still waiting over here.

I moved to San Francisco Bay Area in the 1980s, have been calling this place home for 35+ years, but I took train rides (real train, not BART) only twice, both CalTrain commuter trains on the peninsula, total travel distance less then 40 miles. Now, a Frenchman rode train through my hometown twice, and published such nice video! Wow!
Specifically, the Fremont train station at Thornton Ave (9: 18) is 6 miles from my house, and Niles Junction (9: 38) is only 4 miles from my house. However, I never even set my foot on any train in or thru my hometown.
Well, all I can say is my train experience in France is much much more than my train experience in the Bay Area. I have been on London to Paris EuroStar twice, and I have crossed the entire country of France (almost) on TGV from Avignon to Paris.

Most cars on the Capitol Corridor train were built by Morrison-Knudsen, but all the Pacific Surfliner cars were built by Alstom. Some cars on the Capitol Corridor and San Joaquin trains are Alstom-built too. One difference between the Alstom and MK cars is that the luggage storage on the MK cars has a closing door, but on the Alstom cars, they don-t. Also, on the Alstom cars, whenever the conductor picks up the PA to make an announcement, a three-tone chime rings in the car right before he/she speaks into the mike. That chime is not present in the MK cars. I like the interiors of MK cars better, but I really like the sound of the chime. If only MK cars had that chime

Unfortunately, the bi-level California cars will be replaced with one-level Siemens Venture cars. The original prototype for a new bi-level California car unexpectedly failed some safety tests and there wasn't enough time make modifications before an important deadline to receive federal funding, so they opted for the -safer- generic option instead. I love taking the Capitol Corridor from Oakland to Sacramento in the summer (for the weekend, or even just a day trip; bringing my bike) and looking at the pretty views - or the backed up car traffic - from the upper level. I'm sure the Venture cars will be okay, but the views definitely won't be as great.

The only problem I have with the cafe cars is that so many of the seats are in the center of the car so you do not get a good window view. The reason California, Washington, and North Carolina use their own equipment are that it is the only way they could get any service out of Amtrak. Amtrak throws up so many roadblocks in trying to start a service using their own equipment takes away one of the roadblocks. The other issue of course is the railroads as these trains all run on the Union Pacific which is the most hostile to passenger trains of any of the railroads.

The reason the cab car gave off Surfliner vibes was because Amtrak California uses two types of stock. The original California Car is used for most of the Capitol Corridor equipment, but they later created the Surfliner car revision which is (shockingly) used on the Surfliner trains. The Surfliner cars are also used on Capitol Corridor and San Joaquins trains. Your cab car for the day was one of those Surfliner cars while the rest of your train ran the older California Cars.

It looks great and comfortable - but sooo slow - 40mph average! Our local train in the UK covers the 22miles from Warminster to Salisbury in 22 mins. Max train speed 75mph. (max unit speed 90mph) and it does this every day time hour seven days a week. The population of the two towns together - only 80, 000 What's the population of the Bay Area (I have no idea but it must be in the millions) The US has a long way to go still!

I hope your video gets more people to ride the train. That train was so empty. I live in the East Bay and have gone in and out of OKJ many times, it was so fun to see you in my hometown of Oakland and talking so well of it. Bravo! Since I've seen you travel the rails all over the world it was fun to see you in my bit of the world. Would have been nice to see the whole trip from San Jose to Sacramento though.

Yikes! San Jose to Oakland on the train. A true urban experience much of the way! It-s not a route most of us think of, since the Capitol trains popularly serve the Sacramento-SF route segment. Of course, the route also serves the 49ers stadium in nearby Santa Clara so gets heavy ridership those days.
Of course I-ve never ridden the Oakland-San Jose segment, so maybe I should just keep quiet. ;-)

I love how spatious these US trains look from the inside, even the double decker ones, compared to their European counterparts. The increased track clearance really allows for some more room onboard!
However, I get the impression from most of these videos that passenger trains in the US run basically empty. It's sad to see such well equipped and clean trains serving no one.

Great video! In the future, if you ever want to be able to differentiate the California Cars from the Surfliner Cars, the California Cars are numbered in the 8000s, while the Surfliner cars (including the cab car in this video) are numbered in the 6000s. According to Wikipedia, there are currently 12 Surfliner Cars being used to supplement the 66 existing California Cars.

I used to ride this route pretty frequently between San Jose and Sacramento when I lived in Santa Cruz. Favorite parts include the C&H sugar factory in Crockett all lit up at night, that Niles Junction U-turn, how close the tracks are to the water at some points, and crossing the Sacramento River with views of the Tower Bridge and Delta King.

There is a great Railroad museum in Sacramento and you can take the Capital Corridor right to it. There is a great restaurant and hotel in an old paddlewheel docked there, the Delta King, and Sacramento Old Town that would make for a fascinating trip and video content for you to record as well.

The cab car on that train is really similar to a Surfliner car- because it is one. There were a few Surfliner coaches painted in the Amtrak California paint scheme and used on Capitol Corridor and San Joaquin trains, though I believe they-ve mostly been sent south to serve Surfliner trains.
