In California, Amtrak trains look different - the blue and silver "Pacific Surfliners" and, further north, the blue, silver and yellow "San Joaquins" and "Capitol Corridor" trains. This is due to the way trains operated within California are funded - Note the "Amtrak California" lettering on F59PHI 2003. This sharp-looking four car train arrived in San Jose as train #537 (Sacramento to San Jose), and will depart 65 minutes later as train #542 (San Jose to Sacramento). Along with Amtrak service, San Jose's Diridon Station is also served by CalTrain (heading north to San Francisco) as well as Santa Clara County's VTA light rail service ... All part of California's rail renaissance. |
