I haven’t been out recording much lately. Just too much work. So when I had a quiet day during the Independence Day week, I got up early drove north a few miles to Burlingame, CA, on Caltrain’s San Francisco/San Jose commute line. Since it was a Friday, the regular schedule was in effect despite the light ridership numbers. In the space of about two hours, I caught 17 trains headed both north and south with 6 of them stopping at the station.
The depot itself was built in 1894 by Southern Pacific to serve primarily those who worked in San Francisco and lived 16 miles south in Burlingame and Hillsborough. Today, the building houses as a museum run by the Burlingame Historical Society. Unfortunately, it’s only open the first Sunday of the month between 1pm and 4pm.
When my video camera batter died, I pulled out my Canon DSLR which also records video. You’ll notice that there are much more vibrant colors in the last segment due to the camera’s higher quality sensor.
