Caltrain's all-electric fleet launch was celebrated over the weekend but faced significant delays due to a power outage caused by external interference, not its own infrastructure.
Dan Lieberman mentioned that the power outage was a 'power-related incident' not linked to Caltrain's infrastructure or its new electric trains, instead hinting at potential external vandalism.
A Caltrain social media post signaled that interfering with overhead wires is both extremely dangerous and a felony, indicating possible vandalism contributed to the outage.
Despite the delays, Caltrain aims to provide faster, cleaner, quieter, and more frequent train services with their new electric fleet, which has a $2.4 billion investment.
