^ Utterly ridiculous, and shows that Caltrain still doesn't "get" how regional rail is supposed to work.
Even if you assume ten minutes to turn a train (which is generous, and includes delays from interlockings and such) that's still 6 trains per hour per track, or 36 trains per hour total. More than double the 16 trains per hour that Caltrain says is impossible.
Hell, Tokyo can do 26 trains per hour on a single set of two tracks on the Chuo Line. SF ain't Tokyo, but there's gotta be a way to achieve one fifth of that performance...
