Caltrain twitter updates

What is Caltrain Real-time and where can I find it? Caltrain Real-time uses a combination of locomotive-equipped Global Positioning System and a rail operating control system to determine train location and departure prediction provided by the scheduled time. Is Caltrain Real-time actually "real-time"? The term "real-time" describes the predictive time when Caltrain will depart, not arrive, from a scheduled station.

At the Caltrain stations, the system provides status updates if a train is predicted to depart more than 2 minutes late from the scheduled time. On the Caltrain website and the system presents a countdown to the departure time. What can I expect from "real-time"? At the station: - Predictive departure times next 2 trains within the next 60 minutes - Display will show train number, schedule departure time, status update compared to the scheduled time - "Minutes late" status update - Audio announcements when train is approaching or train lateness is greater than 5 minutes.

On caltrain. On I receive this error message on the website: "An error occurred contacting the web service" This error message is displayed when no data is transferring through the web service.

This is temporary and should come back online. I do not see any predictions on the website. During a major service interruption, predictions are turned off when in manual mode. Once service is back to normal, predictions will be reactivated. While customers are at the stations, Caltrain strongly advises everyone to stand behind the yellow line at all times. At Caltrain we are committed to keeping our riders informed. As part of that commitment we are active on a number of social media platforms.
