CalTrain Flirts with Real-time Information

Caltrain is introducing a system to provide customers with real-time information regarding train arrival/departure times by attaching Global Positioning Systems to their Locomotives. The GPS location, along with the track occupancy from their rail operating control system, should provide an accurate location of trains that can be used to predict when the train will arrive at the next scheduled stop.

Before the system goes live there will be some testing, Phase One will run this week between 10am to 3pm with message boards and public address system testing.
