CalTrain Train #284 hit a car in Atherton, CA,
tonight, at 7:30 pm. NO injuries! #284 is a
southbound that stops at all stops SF-Menlo
Park, then expresses to Mountain View, then
makes all stops except Lawrence to San Jose.
The vehicle is still under the train right now.

The car was on fire briefly under the train, but
the fire department was able to quickly put it
out. The driver was not injured, and neither was
anyone on the train. The fire department
evacuated the train because of the fire.
AFAIK, everyone is OK. Whew!

This is the first time in many years that CalTrain
has hit a vehicle.

This was at the Fair Oaks grade crossing, MP 27.8.
No trains stop at the Atherton station on weekdays.

CalTrain will single-train around the scene for now,
probably Redwood City yard to south of Menlo Park.
