Caltrain has launched its new electrified schedule, taking the 160-year-old San Francisco-to-San Jose rail corridor from diesel power to electric for the first time.

NJBIA and hundreds of business groups are urging the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to reject a request from the California Air Resources Board (CARB) to circumvent federal law and effectively require railroads across the nation purchase zero-emission locomotives.

Balfour Beatty has achieved substantial completion on the Caltrain Electrification project, the first undertaking in North America in which diesel trains and their infrastructure components are transitioned to an electrified system.
