She asked if electrification service is capped at six trains per direction per hour, will future demand be met, and if this is something that should be looked at in the Environmental Impact Report (EIR). Roland LeBrun, San Jose, said last month the California High Speed Rail Authority (CHRSA) and Amtrak issued a Request for Information (RFI) for High Speed Rail (HSR) rolling stock. He asked when Caltrain will be issuing a similar RFI for the new electric multiple units that will be able to share common track platform heights with HSR and Amtrak.
