Document Description
The Peninsula Commute Service Joint Powers Board proposes to review electrification options to improve commuter rail service within corridor generally following U.S. Highway 101 between San Francisco and the City of Gilroy in southern Santa Clara County. Alternatives to be evaluated include a No-Project Alternative and an Electrification Alternative that would provide for the conversion from diesel-hauled to electric-hualed trains and would require the installation of some 150 to 170 single track miles of overhead contract system (OCS) for the distribution of electrical power to the electric rolling stock. The electric vehicles will be either electric locomotives or electrical multiple unit (EMU) cars. The OCS will be powered from a 25 kV, 60 Hz, single phase, alternating current (ac) supply system that will require the installation of between three and five traction power substations, dependent upon the selected power feeding arrangement.
