Caltrain 906 |
| Description: |
Caltrain 906 shoves a northbound commute out of San Jose Diridon. Due to an accident in San Bruno that effectively severed the Peninsula Mainline, Caltrain began operating on a reduced schedule. The new shcedule took effect on March 14, and would last until April 4. |

Tomorrow's History |
| Description: |
Caltrain 906 rolls out of Diridon northbound. While it may seem like a rather run-of-the-mill day on the Peninsula, big changes are happening. Just the day before this picture was taken, the first of 19 Stadler EMU sets was delivered to the Caltrain shops north of San Jose Diridon. These EMUs will replace the F40PHs and gallery cars Caltrain has used for almost 40 years. |

Caltrain 906 |
| Description: |
Caltrain 906 prepares to shove another comute out of Diridon at 5:37 PM. 906 was one of 18 F40PH-2s the state ordered at the start of operations in 1985. Their ownership was transferred to Caltrain in the early 1990s, and in the late 1990s 15 of the now 20-unit fleet were rebuilt with Caterpillar HEP generators. These units are characterized by a covered rear walkway, the rear of the carbody flush with the rear of the frame. The 5 units still with the gear-driven HEP systems still have the open rear walkway. 906 will depart northbound with train #413 at 5:44 PM |

Old Reliables on Standby |
| Description: |
Caltrain F40PHs idle at San Jose Diridon in mid April. The two venerable units, the 906 and 909, have operated on the Peninsula Commute for almost 40 years, having been built in 1985 by EMD. The 909 has just arrived on train #410 southbound, while 906 will soon depart on train #413 northbound. Note that 906 is operating with a set of Caltrains Bombardier Bi-Level coaches, while 909 is running with the older Nippon-Sharyo gallery cars. |

Caltrain #269 Northbound |
| Description: |
Caltrain 906 shoves one more northbound out of Diridon as the sun sets in the west. The 1985-vintage F40 is in charge of train #269 northbound, a weekend service to San Francisco. Leaving at 8:12 PM on Saturdays and Sundays, the train wont reach San Fran until nearly 10 PM, where the equipment will likely spend the night. |

Twilight Outbound |
| Description: |
As the sun sets, Caltrain 906 growls out of San Jose Diridon with another load of northbound commuters. The aging F40 has been serving the peninsula for nearly 40 years, having entered service in 1985. After 37 years of constant use, age is beginning to catch up to the old beasts. As evidenced by the catenary wires that have sprung up along the peninsula, the F40s are facing their final days, as the first of 19 7-car EMU sets begin to arrive. 906 will have two years at best before it will inevitably be retired. It is unknown if any of Caltrains 23 F40 models will be preserved. |
