Glittering Holiday Train Returns,

Lots of Festive Family Fun for All

Santa and his elves will be mak-

ing whistle stops along the Peninsula

this year as part of the train crew for

the 2013 Caltrain Holiday Train pre-

sented by Silicon Valley Community

Foundation. The glittering show train

returns Saturday, Dec. 7, and Sunday,

Dec. 8.

Glowing with thousands of lights

and holiday decorations, the train will

make stops at nine stations over the

two nights, collecting toys for under-

privileged children in the area. Rep-

resentatives from the Salvation Army

and members of the U.S. Marine

Corps Reserves will be on hand to

collect donations of new, unwrapped

toys.

Entertainment will be provided

at each of the stops prior to the train’s

arrival. During each 20-minute stop,

people can enjoy holiday music led

by a traditional Salvation Army brass

band and onboard carolers. Santa,

Mrs. Claus, Frosty, Rudolph and the

rest of the North Pole gang will get

off the train to greet children and

their families and take pictures.

The train starts both nights at

4 p.m. at the San Francisco

Caltrain Station. On Saturday, the

festivities will kick-off with a brief

ceremony to welcome the crowd

that will include speakers, musical

entertainment and a chance to

meet Santa before he heads down

the Peninsula.

Santa’s helpers can get

into the holiday spirit by

donating to the Holiday Train

at www.holiday-train.org.

San Jose Author Tracks

Depot Design in New Book

More than 30 years ago, Henry

E. Bender Jr. began researching the

history of Southern Pacific depots,

buildings integral to the development

of hundreds of communities across

California, including along the San

Francisco Peninsula.

Recently released by Signature

Press, Bender’s book Southern

Pacific Lines Standard-Design

Depots is packed with photographs,

architectural drawings and text tell-

ing the story of depots that were

often the centers of town. Using a

set of 26 different standard designs,

Southern Pacific planted depots

throughout the state and the West,

from one-story, no-frills structures

to two-story depots with a home

upstairs for the station agent and his

family.

“What I wanted to accomplish

was to document the subject fairly

thoroughly,” the San Jose resident

explained. “There had been some

books published that were basically

picture books with some limited

description but these books didn’t

go into details like what the depot

dimensions were, when they were

abandoned and so on.”

Well-known depot historian Henry

Bender Jr. stands in front of the

two-story Colonnade-style Millbrae

station depot which is mentioned

in his book “Southern Pacific Lines

Standard-Design Depots”.

Bender has maintained an inter-

est in railroads through a career

spent as a mechanical engineer, a

corporate librarian and a technical

writer. Looking in 1981 for a railroad

Real-time Information is Here

Caltrain’s

long antici-

pated real-time

departure sys-

tem is up and

running on

the website.

The real-

time feature

officially went

live in October.

A box on

the right-hand

side of the home page

allows users to select a station and

see departure times for the next three

north- and southbound trains. The

information is in a “count-down”

format.

Departure times for individual

stations are displayed on the “sta-

tion” page, which can be found

under the “station” menu.

A mobile-friendly web interface

option for smartphones or tablets also

is available at www.caltrain.com/

realtime.

To help riders become acquainted

with the system, a list of “Frequently

Asked Questions” is available on the

website.

Work Begins on Rail’s

Advanced Signal System

Caltrain has begun work on an

advanced signal system that will

enhance the safety and lead to the

electrification of the rail system.

The Communications Based

Overlay Signal System/Positive Train

Control Project is the first step in the

Caltrain Modernization program.

The CBOSS PTC system equips

the corridor with federally mandated

safety technology and increases sys-

tem capacity, which will help accom-

modate future increases in ridership.

During this phase of the project,

fiber optic cable will be installed

along the Caltrain right of way so

that signals, trains, dispatchers and

other components of railroad opera-

tions can communicate seamlessly.

Once complete, the system will

monitor and, if necessary, control

train movement in the event of

human error. The technology is de-

signed to prevent accidents like the

one in Southern California in 2008.

That incident prompted legislation
