Two Virginia Railway Express ex-Budd RDC's sit next to one of Caltrain's new gallery cars in San Jose. Caltrain is leasing 14 such VRE cars, including 2 cab-cars, for service to the San Francisco Giants' new Pacific Bell Park.

The interior of the VRE "Boise Budds" (so-nicknamed because they were converted from RDC's to trailer cars in Boise, ID) is reminiscent of a schoolbus. Each car seats approximately 100 people, and the ride is considerably smoother than that of a Caltrain gallery car.

With baseball season in full swing in 2000, trains 65 and 70 usually ran with 6 VRE cars and one gallery cab-car when there was a night-game, freeing up cars for "Baseball Specials". Above, on just such a day, 70 hustles along the viaduct between tunnels 1 and 2 in San Francisco.
