Just north of Santa Clara (around San Tomas for those who know). Felt like the engineer was trying to manage speed to avoid it, but lol. Usual 7-10 minute delay.

Caltrain CAC is tonight. From what I’ve heard from people who’ve written board letters, Caltrain is responding with text suggesting they’ve got a software fix in testing. That fix cannot come soon enough. I just wish they could publish it to their website so I don’t have to keep posting these.

I also expect 511 to ebrake 😂😭

In the usual spot, a little bit south of Sunnyvale. Expect 7-10m delays.

Pretty clearly a PTC hotspot here where the system freaks out and brakes the train… let’s see if Caltrain says anything in this week’s CAC about it.

Any day in -y. Today, there’s three employees in safety vests in the first car. Couldn’t give me details but Caltrain seems aware that 511 in particular hits this problem more than pretty much any other train…

Folks north of San Jose, expect your usual 7-10 minute delay.

I’ve gotten used to grabbing my laptop tightly in anticipation of this occurring. What an absurdity.

If this is annoying you too, please write a letter to the Caltrain board. They kind of waved off my letter, but if enough of us write, it’ll force them to confront this to some degree.
