This is why trains are delayed.
Keep your eyes on the road, not map apps. Cars can become high-centered on tracks & stuck. If this happens, leave the vehicle immediately.
Tracks mean trains.

Official service alerts for @Caltrain. Some information is automated, delays are approximate. To report an issue call Customer Service at 1.800.660.4287.
- Introducing 24/7 Automated #Caltrain Delay tweets. When a train is 10 minutes behind schedule a tweet will be generated. These are estimates based on real-time location of the trains. Other service messages are still human-generated 7am-7pm, M-F.We have some exciting changes happening today on this account. We think many of you will be pleased. Stay tuned.
- We understand Twitter is no longer solely viable as a communication platform. We are in process of migrating to new, more robust system that will still include Twitter, but also feed text/email/web/API alerts. We do publish alerts on the Service Alerts tab on the web.
- NB303 is struggling at Morgan Hill.
- SB658 is struggling at MVW.
- Are the automated delay tweets helpful? Especially the after-hours/weekend info; how's that working out? Thank you!
- Remember to keep phone calls short and quiet on Caltrain. It’s disruptive to other passengers. And so are music, tv shows, viral videos… just wear headphones. Thank you.
- Currently Caltrain is only running service local only. We understand your frustrations, we are doing everything we can to get you to your destinations. Thank you.
- Currently no delays related to downed eucalyptus trees.
