But, this being CalTrain, my perfectly logical answer is almost guaranteed to be wrong ;-)BikeBoyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09761515509161966102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1288241767940554093.post-43804023998270740342009-03-11T16:12:00.000-07:002009-03-11T16:12:00.000-07:00Bike Boy, you're absolutely correct. #2xx trai...Bike Boy, you're absolutely correct. #2xx trains are "limited" trains, while all #3xx trains are express trains with only 5 stops between San Jose and 4th & King. The #2xx trains take about 1 hr 20 minutes between SJ and SF, while the Express runs can take less than 60 minutes.<br><br>It turns out in this example that you'd arrive in SF 5 minutes sooner on #225 than on the Express, but if it was me I would also have jumped on the Express if I didn't have time to look at schedules.Yokota Fritzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04808661100114872654noreply@blogger.com
