Peninsula Corridor - San Francisco to San José

Using Jewash High preset = screen preset ultra, capped at 30fps into Lossless for 60fps

Southbound from San Francisco to San José are locomotive hauled.

Northbound from San José to San Francisco are lead by cab car.

No EBULA style notes for this route. Mainly 70 mph speed limit but you'll rarely get over 60 mph between stations. A couple to 50 speed reductions which are signalled.

NB on the F40PH-2CAT take care not to go past 'idle' when powering down. Otherwise you'll turn the engine off!

Dwarfs

Single green = slow Single yellow = slow approach Singe red with number plate = stop and proceeed

San Francisco single head dwarfs slow = 15 mph, reduces slow = 10 for pass, 5 for freight
