The railway lines to Gilroy are also scheduled to be electrified from 2025. While Project California HSR is being further expanded, the rail operator Caltrain is relying entirely on emission-free, electric 25 Kv railways. Before it is electrified, the railway line between Gilroy and Blossom Hill must be double-tracked.
Good luck getting the line from Blossom Hill to Gilroy double-tracked. Union Pacific owns the tracks from San Jose to Gilroy, and they barely use them anymore because they prefer to route freight trains over the Fresno Subdivision.
These new EMUs are soulless AF. There's no variety among them like there was with the old trains. It would've been cheaper to buy new Bombardier BiLevels to replace all of the gallery cars, and replace the diesel locomotives with Siemens ACS-64s, rather than using Eurotrash.
Rest in peace old fleey

They could also use Siemens dual Mode engines like they do in east coast
@@teviblekhman1628 Where on the East Coast do they use Siemens dual mode engines?
