From the Capitol Corridor folks:

1. Service Advisory: Potential Train Delays November 19-20

Union Pacific track crews will perform a signal improvement project between the Emeryville and Oakland Coliseum stations on Saturday, November 19th and Sunday November 20, 2011. As a result, passengers traveling aboard Capitol Corridor trains may experience delays of 15 to 20 minutes between the Emeryville and Oakland Coliseum stations.
This work is part of the Interstate 880 freeway retrofit project and will allow the Capitol Corridor and other trains to operate through the construction work area more efficiently. Thank you in advance for your patience.

Caltrain equipment for trains 542 & 553 – Wednesday, November 23rd ONLY

In order to maximize available seating capacity, Caltrain will provide the Capitol Corridor a set of equipment to assist with the holiday travel rush. On Wednesday, November 23rd only, Trains 542 and 553 will consist of Caltrain equipment, not the regular Amtrak California equipment used for our service. Passengers planning to travel aboard either of those trains on Wednesday should listen carefully to any announcements made by conductors when the train pulls into the station and be advised that limited snack service will be available.
