Project OverviewThe Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Board’s (PCJPB or Caltrain’s) Electrification project will replace Caltrain’s existing diesel service with a fully electrified service from the 4th and King station in San Francisco to the Tamian station in San Jose. This is one of the main components of the Caltrain Modernization program (CalMod). The CalMod program provides the commuter rail system with the strategic vision to improve system performance while minimizing equipment and operating costs, and is critical to the long-term financial sustainability of Caltrain. The project’s various components include the installation of two substations for traction power, poles, and an overhead contact system; signal and grade crossing circuitry changes, and the acquisition of electric rolling stock, known as electric multiple units (EMUs), to replace the majority of the current diesel trains. The project will extend for 52 miles from San Francisco to San Jose. It will result in faster and more frequent service, reduction of air pollutant emissions, and reduction of noise and vibration.

The vehicle replacement portion of the Caltrain Electrification Project will take place concurrently with the electrification infrastructure portion. The first phase of the vehicle replacement project, part of the CalMod Early Investment Program, will procure 96 new EMU’s to replace 20 locomotives and 73 passenger cars. For the second phase, the remaining diesel locomotives and passenger cars will be progressively replaced as the vehicles reach the end of their useful life.

Caltrain submitted the Environmental Assessment/Environmental Impact Report to the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) in March 2009 and the FTA issued a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) on December 17, 2009. Subsequently, the Caltrain Electrification project received a Ruling of Particular Applicability from the Federal Railroad Administration to allow the use of EMU trains on railroads that also serve diesel trains. In 2015, Caltrain adopted the final environmental document and engaged URS Corporation to provide Program Management services. On May 23, 2017 the FTA executed the Full Funding Grant Agreement (FFGA), which put in place the final portion of federal funding for the project.

In August 2016, Caltrain awarded a Design-Build Electrification contract to Balfour Beatty Infrastructure in the amount of $697 Million. The contractor has been working on design and field investigations, including geotechnical borings along the corridor, together with Archeological exploratory field analysis. Utility relocation coordination was completed with the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR), Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E), and other utilities on the proposed relocation requirements for Electrification. Following a groundbreaking ceremony on July 21, 2017, construction on the Overhead Contact System (OCS) started on October 2017. In parallel, the project team continues to work with the contractor on finalizing the OCS design and coordinating with PG&E for infrastructure improvements and Traction Power Substations interconnects.

On September 6, 2017 Caltrain gave notice-to-proceed to Stadler Rail for the $551 million EMU contract to design and fabricate the electric vehicles. In accordance to the Buy America provisions of the FTA funding, the vehicles will be manufactured in Salt Lake City. The vendor has submitted various deliverables to Caltrain and has been participating in the Design Review of various EMU systems, including HVAC, passenger side doors, controls, and operator’s console. The team is currently in discussions and coordination meetings regarding positive train control (PTC) equipment, mockups and samples for public outreach, and O&M requirements. Fabrication of the car bodies is underway and arrival of first vehicle is anticipated in July 2019.

Revenue service is anticipated by 2022.

California High-Speed Rail and Caltrain Electrification: The Blended Operations ProjectIn early 2012, the California High-Speed Rail Authority’s (CHSRA) 2012 Business Plan embraced a blended operations approach for the system and, most importantly, identified Caltrain as a recipient of early funding available from the state Prop 1A high-speed rail bond funds. Under this structure, Caltrain and the CHSRA will share the infrastructure from San Francisco to San Jose, staying within the existing right-of-way. Electrification of the peninsula rail corridor is a necessary investment to support the blended Caltrain and high-speed rail system. In the short-term, electrification will bring more commuter service to our region in a quieter and greener way. For the long term, electrification prepares the corridor to accommodate the high-speed rail system, which will provide a one-seat ride from downtown San Francisco to Los Angeles. The 2016 CHSRA Business Plan envisions that the Initial Operating Segment (IOS) of the system will be from San Francisco to Bakersfield, with a target in-service date of 2025.

In 2012, the Transportation Authority entered into a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the CHSRA, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission, the City and County of San Francisco, and five other stakeholders to establish a funding framework for a high-speed rail early investment strategy for a blended system in the Peninsula Corridor. The MOU committed each of the three PCJPB members (San Francisco, San Mateo and Santa Clara counties) to a local contribution of $60 million each for the Early Investment Strategy for the Peninsula Corridor, comprised of the Caltrain Electrification and Advance Signal System projects, which had a total cost of $1.459 billion. That budget was based on a 2008 estimate escalated to year of expenditure. Subsequently, Caltrain conducted a budget update workshop and solicited bids from contractors, which resulted in a revised budget of $2.211 billion. As a result, the local contribution was increased to $80 million. A supplemental MOU to that effect was executed

By merging the planned Electrification of Caltrain and the Caltrain Downtown Extension to the Transbay Transit Center into a single project, near-high-speed passenger rail service can quickly be established between two large urban centers at a relatively low cost.

in anticipated in July 2016. The Transportation Authority is anticipated to contribute about $25 million of San Francisco’s local contribution, including about $21 million in Prop K funds. High-Speed Rail service in the Peninsula is anticipated for 2026. Caltrain and High Speed Rail continue to develop the Blended System Operations Plan.

Caltrain Communications-Based Overlay Signal System: Positive Train Control Project (CBOSS PTC)In parallel with the Electrification project, Caltrain is proceeding with the design and installation of the Advance Signal System, also known as the Communications-Based Overlay Signal System (CBOSS) or Positive Train Control Project (PTC). PTC is a system that, among other features, tracks train locations and prevents unsafe train movements through the use of equipment on-board the locomotives and in the field along the alignment. In October 2011, Caltrain awarded a design-build contract to Parsons Transportation Group (PTG) for the design and implementation of the $231 million Project. Final design was completed in January 2014. Wayside systems and on-board systems installation have been completed, together with the Backup Central Control Facility (BCCF), which was put into service in June 2016. On February 22, 2017, Caltrain terminated its design-build contract with PTG for CBOSS. The project was restarted in May 2017 with the award of a short-term contract to Alstom and on March 1, 2018, the PCJPB awarded a contract to Wabtec Corporation to complete the project in accordance with the December 2018 federal mandate for PTC.
