Caltrain is the commuter rail system serving San Francisco, San Mateo and Santa Clara counties that spans 77 miles and is governed by the Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Board (PCJPB), which consists of agencies from the three Caltrain counties. Caltrain operates a fleet of 29 locomotives and 123 passenger cars.
The multibillion-dollar Caltrain’s Capital Program of large civil construction projects includes grade separations, bridge replacements, stations improvements, and the future underground extension to the Salesforce Transit Center. The latter will be the largest infrastructure project in the region connecting San Jose and the Peninsula to San Francisco’s Financial District. It will also deliver the California High‐Speed Rail Authority’s future high‐speed rail service to the Transit Center.
Caltrain will electrify their railroad in the fall of 2024. After more than 150 years in operation, our 51-mile electrified corridor will improve regional air quality, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and improve rail service to the community and customers from San Francisco to San Jose.
This is an exciting time for our railroad with many large infrastructure projects along our corridor improving the crossings for trains, vehicles and pedestrians.
We have many employment opportunities. Come join us and be part of this exciting transformation.
