I always had a fascination for commuter trains as they are trains we can actually get on for a cheap price. Many of which get you to nice senic views without a unfriendly price and hey your on a train!. As for me I live in California and Cal-train is the train that I used to take to and from work, it was always nice to see get a little senic view in before and after work. since the new arival of the baby bullets they are one nice looking train, we also have the amtrak commuter train over here as well (they get a better view of the whole coast which is really nice). Here is a little about them: Caltrain is a California commuter rail line on the San Francisco Peninsula and the Santa Clara Valley in the United States. It is currently operated under contract by Amtrak and funded jointly by the City and County of San Francisco, San Mateo County Transit District, and Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority through the Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Board. The northern terminus of the rail line is in San Francisco, at 4th and King streets; its southern terminus is in Gilroy.-wikipedia we have cool MP36PH's with the matching bombardier coaches We help out Amtrak in our free time and we also have ALOT of F59PH's Other than that it gets me from work and back somewhat on time and i get to calm my rainfan nerves down every morning becasue im getting on a train. haha. I have the baby bullet set in HO ill put up a video later
