History
Work on the USD $140 million project began in October 2004, with USD $105.8 million coming from federal funding and USD $8.2 million from state funding. The construction phase of the facility lasted approximately three years from 2004 to September 29, 2007, when Caltrain held a Grand Opening ceremony. The first shift of maintenance and operations crew did not move into the new shop until October 21, followed by the second and third shifts in November. The last component of this yard, the fueling storage and station, was completed in Spring 2008.
