1. Memorial Day Service
**********************************************************************
Capitol Corridor will operate on a weekend/holiday schedule on
Memorial Day, Monday, May 26, 2008.
**********************************************************************
2. Track work June 3-28, 2008
**********************************************************************
Union Pacific will be upgrading track infrastructure between Benicia
(North of Martinez) and Suisun/Fairfield, installing approximately
40,000 new wood ties. This is the second installment of a multi-year
track upgrade project between Oakland and Sacramento, which will keep
the railroad in good condition so trains can operate reliably.
Track work is expected to run June 3rd -June 28th, 2008. During this
time, some morning and early afternoon Capitol Corridor trains WILL
NOT OPERATE between Martinez and Suisun/Fairfield. Instead, connecting
buses will carry passengers between these two stations, and trains
will operate on the remainder of the route on a modified schedule.
Visit our site for the temporary schedule and full details.
Bicycle Advisory during Track Work: Due to limited space aboard
motorcoach buses used during the bus bridge, Capitol Corridor strongly
discourages cyclists from traveling with their bicycles on affected
trains between Suisun/Fairfield and Martinez during the track work
project. We suggest that cyclists be prepared to secure bicycles at
the train station, as bicycles will not be permitted in the seating
area on the buses. Storage space underneath the bus is very limited
and priority will be given to baggage. More details on bicycle
advisory.
