Project Insomnia

Project Insomnia is many things, but in this context it is simply a "braindump" of whatever I happen to be thinking/reading/watching/doing at the moment. Parental guidance suggested.

Faster Than A Baby Bullet

And about time, too: After two years of no weekend service and construction, Caltrain is set to premiere the new "Baby Bullet" service on Monday. The new trains actually don't run any faster than the existing ones, but the new track and service schedule allows them to run at their top speed of 79 MPH for longer stretches.
Commuters on the weekday service can expect much quicker trips up and down the Peninsula aboard the five morning and five evening trains that make up the Baby Bullet service. To meet commute demands, three of the trains will run northbound in the morning and two southbound with three southbound and one northbound in the evening.

The fleet of snub-nosed red, white and gray locomotives pulling sleek rail cars will supplement the boxier-looking trains that have been providing regular weekday Caltrain service between San Francisco and San Jose.
This is especially good news at a time when the Giants seem to have found themselves – we take Caltrain to Giants games, and with no weekend service (and evening jobs) we've not been able to get to a game yet this year. With weekend service restored and a new sense of life at The Stadium Formerly Known As Pac Bell, we might get to one soon.
