Although not part of the Amtrak California brand, Caltrans also provides support for the Capitol Corridor, and shared the use of "Amtrak California" branded Thruway buses and trainsets The National Railroad Passenger Corporation (Amtrak) assumed operation of almost all intercity passenger rail in the United States in 1971. Service in California, as in most of the United States, was basic and infrequent. In 1976 California began providing financial assistance to Amtrak.[1] At the same time, Caltrans Division of Rail was formed to oversee state-financed rail operations and the brand Amtrak California started appearing on state-supported routes. In 1990, California passed Propositions 108 and 116, providing $3 billion for transportation projects, with a large portion going to rail service.[2] As a result, new locomotives and passenger cars were purchased by the state, existing inter-city routes expanded, and one new inter-city route, the Capitol Corridor, began operation. A more distinct image for Amtrak California, such as painting locomotives and passenger cars in "California Color", was established with the arrival of new rolling stock. Amtrak California operates a fleet of EMD F59PHI and GE P32-8WH locomotives that are used on San Joaquin and Capitol Corridor trains. These locomotives are owned by Caltrans and carry the CDTX reporting marks.[3] The Pacific Surfliner trains also use a dedicated fleet of 15 EMD F59PHI locomotives that are painted to match the livery of the "Surfliner" passenger cars, but they are Amtrak owned instead. Locomotives from Amtrak's national fleet such as P42DC are often used as substitutes when the Amtrak California dedicated fleet of locomotives undergoes maintenance. Six additional locomotives built by Siemens will join Amtrak California's locomotive fleet by 2017. These locomotives are parts of a multi-state order of 35 locomotives funded by a combination of Federal and states money. Illinois Department of Transportation, acting as the leading agency, awarded the order to Siemens on December 18, 2013. California Car / Surfliner bi-level trainsets Bicycle rack on a California Car Main article: California Car (railcar) Main article: Surfliner (railcar) Amtrak California's routes typically use bi-level, high-capacity passenger cars, dubbed the Surfliner and California Car. All of the California Cars are owned by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans). Most of the Surfliner cars are owned by Amtrak with some owned by Caltrans. The design of the cars is based on Amtrak's Superliner bi-level passenger cars, but several changes were made to the design to make the car more suitable for corridor services with frequent stops. One very important difference is that the Surfliner and California Car have two sets of automatic doors on each side instead of only one manually operated door on the Superliners, which speeds up boarding and alighting considerably.[3] Additionally, Surfliner and California Car coaches are equipped with higher-density seating and bicycle racks to permit transport of unboxed bicycles. Consists on the San Joaquin, Capitol Corridor, and Pacific Surfliner routes usually include between four and six cars, with one locomotive and a cab control car on the rear end. ------------ The best network 70% better than adsense, adsense is 60%, with CPM from $ 3 to $ 20, and I've seen $ 20 higher on my channel :) Join Youtuber ;) http://goo.gl/5i9Zoy
