The Caltrain board voted for several changes to close the railroad's budget gap. Among them, an increase in parking fees, a ~24% increase the cost of the corporate "Go Pass," and the elimination of eight midday trains (four in each direction).

Caltrain also recently moved the horns back to the top of its locomotives and cab cars. Apparently, the sound produced from the underside location did not comply with FRA standards. They were moved to the undersides to address noise concerns. Instead, Caltrain will begin installing regulator valves to reduce the horns' volume.
