"The first of each "fleet" went all the way to Redwood City before stopping, the 2nd not quite as far, the 3rd a little less yet; and so on. The last one made all stoops. Fast trains out first, followed by slower, and then still slower. . . . "

That is not correct. It was California Ave. From 1964 to the end of the traditional schedule the first stops were as follows:

5:14 - California Ave.
5:17 - Redwood City
5:20 - Belmont
5:23 - Burlingame
5:26 - South San Francisco


From about 1956 - 1964 there were 7 of them with additonal first stops at Menlo Park (the Los Gatos/Vasona train) and Millbrae.

Before 1956 there were 8 with a first stop also at Atherton.
