"With a 6 car trainset an ALP-46 will have no problem accelerating on the mid-day local trains."

True, rate of acceleration will exceed zero, but we all agree it won't match an EMU. Supposedly Caltrain hopes all-stop locals will run San Jose-SF in 70 minutes, which would require EMUs (EMUs that are livelier than M7/Arrows, I suspect).

(Don't recall if that 70 minutes is supposed to be San Jose to Transbay Terminal-- probably not?)
