Union Pacific is upgrading track infrastructure (primarily railroad ties and bridges) between Richmond and the north side of the Martinez-Benicia drawbridge, installing approximately 40,0000 new wood ties at their own expense. This is the first installment of a multi-year track upgrade project between Oakland and Sacramento, which will keep the railroad in good condition so that trains can operate reliably.
On weekdays, some morning and mid-day trains are suspended during the construction period to give the track workers time to do the rebuilding. The following weekday trains WILL NOT OPERATE from January 17, 2007-February 21, 2007:
Eastbound trains: #518, #526, #530, and #534
Westbound trains: #527, #531, #533, and #541
(Train #529 will operate thru to San Jose)
Other trains will operate as normal (some with adjusted schedules), although trains passing through the work area between 8am and 3pm may also experience a few minutes delay.
We apologize for the inconvenience of this trackwork construction, but rest assured that in the long run, this maintenance will help us deliver a more reliable Capitol Corridor service.
