Amtrak Capitol Corridor

Pros: Not many people on the train. While the train was late, it was only late by 15 minutes (which was not a choice on your questionnaire). Cons: Centerville Fremont station is undergoing construction. It would be helpful if the passengers were alerted as to which track would be used for which train. Apparently, there are times when the trains take turns using one track. Other times they don't. So people get confused as to where to wait. Tips: no.
