16 cars will add seating capacity to peak-hour trains, rail officials say
Caltrain officials have announced plans to purchase 16 surplus Metrolink rail cars that will be used to extend train sets and provide more capacity for peak-hour trains.

The Bombardier Bi-Level Generation 2 rail cars are being purchased from Southern California Regional Rail Authority.

Caltrain officials estimate the cars, which will require substantial rehabilitation, could be in service in a year, according to a Sept. 4 press release.

The total cost of purchasing and renovating the equipment is estimated at $15 million, according to Caltrain officials.
