SAN FRANCISCO -- The San Francisco Caltrain station was expectedly quiet on Sunday as regular riders seemed to get the memo that weekend service between the city and San Jose was suspended to allow final tests of Caltrain's new electric fleet.

"This is the first test of eight electric trains running simultaneously," said Dan Lieberman, Caltrain spokesperson. "We need to make sure that the power flow to the trains is working properly and everything else is in good working order."

Caltrain is nearing the finish line of the electrification project that it first broke ground on in 2017.
