Re: Oregon Excursion Friday
You are welcome, Chuck.? Both the OP&E and OC&E lines were scenic and I'm glad that I had the chance to ride them before they vanished.

Re: Five Trains Home for Tuesday
Mike, ? Just a note.? Some of the Caltrain photos include overhead wires.? But Caltrain is a diesel-powered service, you say.? Sure, but Caltrain is busy electrifying the entire line San Francisco to San Jose, for a scheduled electrification service date of 2022.? At that time, most San Francisco ¨C San Jose trains will be operated with electric MU trains.? Caltrain is somewhat vague about the details, but they will need to retain some diesel-hauled trains for service at that date, and for the trains that run all the way down to Gilroy. ? Phil Burton ?
