  • Overhead Contact

System (OCS)

  • Traction Power

Facilities

Electric Trains

  • 75 percent of fleet

Up to 79 mph Service Increase

  • 6 trains / hour / direction
  • More station stops / reduced travel

time

  • Restore Atherton & Broadway

service

Mixed-fleet service (interim period) Continue tenant service

  • ACE, Capital Corridor, Amtrak,

Freight

Traction Power Facilities

  • 10 Traction Power Facilities Installed throughout

Corridor

– 1 Paralleling Station installed in Palo Alto

  • Facility Components

– Transformer – Gantries (up to 50’) – Control House

  • Provides electrical power to trains through the

Overhead Contact System

  • Unmanned, secure, lighted facility

Paralleling Station 5

  • Located south of Page Mill Road on Caltrain

Property

– Coordination with City on location during EIR

  • Vegetation Screening will be implemented with

review and input from City Staff

  • Control House Color to be selected by City

Aesthetics Mitigation Measures

  • AES-2b Goal: Help soften visual intrusion of project

elements upon landscape, especially in areas of high use

– Poles:

  • Coordinate with local jurisdiction on poles within station areas
  • No unpainted metal surfaces

– Traction Power Facilities:

  • Coordinate with local jurisdiction on control house color and

vegetation screening at sensitive TPF sites

  • Features to be colored or painted two to three shades darker

than general surrounding area

  • Light or bright colors will be avoided
