SAN JOSE — Caltrain will hold the first public tour of its new Stadler electric trainsets this Saturday, July 29, at the San Jose Diridon Station.
The event is slated for 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Caltrain reports on its website that as of Thursday, it had received approximately 3,600 RSVPs from those planning to attend, and is recommending that those who want to tour the cars attend between noon and 2 p.m. Everyone in line by 1:45 p.m. will have a chance to tour the train.
The event will begin at 10 a.m. with a welcome ceremony featuring Caltrain Executive Director Michelle Bouchard, board chair Jeff Gee, and elected officials. It will feature raffles, live music, food tricks, art demonstrations, and games and other activities.
Parking will be limited, and Caltrain is urging attendees to take public transit — including special additional Caltrain service — or active transportation such as bicycles; free bicycle valet parking will be provided. More event information is available here.
Similar events are planned this fall in San Francisco and this winter in San Mateo County, although dates for those events have yet to be announced.
