The Gilroy Garlic Festival train will run again this year! Beat the traffic and parking hassle! The train being run as a benefit for the Golden Gate RR Museum, and will provide service to the world famous Gilroy Garlic festival on both Saturday and Sunday, July 30t and 31st. This limited-stop service will serve the SF, Burlingame, Redwood City, Palo Alto, San Jose (Cahill) CalTrain stations. Tickets are $38 from SF through Palo Alto, and $34 from San Jose. Kids 2 thru 12 are half price and under 2 are free. Seniors and groups of 10 or more get a 10% discount. The ticket price includes round-trip train fare, transportation to & from the festival and festival admission. Tickets are available through BASS ticket outlets or by calling the Garlic Train ticket office at (415) 548-9161. Beware: All tickets obtained through BASS are subject to their infamous "convenience fees". Here's the train schedule for both days: South Station North (read down) (read up) 0900 San Francisco 1820 0925 Burlingame 1755 0937 Redwood City 1743 0946 Palo Alto (Univ. Ave.) 1734 1010 San Jose (Cahill St.) 1710 1050 Gilroy 1820 While the GGRM does own & operate the 2472 steam engine and several vintage rail cars, it is believed that they will, as in previous years, be using CalTrain equipment... -- Adrian Brandt (415) 940-2379 adrian@ntmtv.com

[details deleted] I thought the Garlic Festival was three days, Friday through Sunday. In fact, some friends and I had been thinking of taking the Garlic Festival train down on Friday.

Regarding my earlier posting of the Gilroy Garlic Festival train info, I goofed on one of the times. (I had the northbound return train leaving Gilroy *after* it reached San Jose... Oops! Thanks to Mike Lipsie for catching and pointing out the error.) I apologize for the goof. Here's the correct schedule for both Saturday and Sunday July 30th and 31st: South Station North (read down) (read up) 0900 San Francisco 1820 0925 Burlingame 1755 0937 Redwood City 1743 0946 Palo Alto (Univ. Ave.) 1734 1010 San Jose (Cahill St.) 1710 1050 Gilroy 1630 For ticket (or other) info, see my previous posting on the subject, or call the Garlic Train ticket office at (415) 548-9161. -- Adrian Brandt (415) 940-2379 adrian@ntmtv.com

The reason there needs to be a special "Garlic Train" is that no trains run to Gilroy on the weekend. Now there's the commuter trains that run Friday, but they're totally backwards for what the Garlic festival needs, since they leave Gilroy in the morning and arrive in the evening. I don't think the Garlic Special runs Friday... If you think the train service is desirable, vote for the CALTEA initiative on the November ballot. It will insure that services like the Caltrain survive and expand. ../Steven
