Project Site, On-site Residential Receptors, Road and Rail Line Segments <br />Evaluated, and Locations of Maximum Cancer Risk <br /> <br />Railroad Community Risk Impacts <br /> <br />The project site is located near the Caltrain rail line, and rail activity currently generates TAC <br />and PM2.5 emissions from locomotive exhaust. This rail line is used for passenger and freight <br />service by trains using diesel fueled locomotives. The project site is about 400 feet or greater <br />from the Caltrain line. The Peninsula Corridor Electrification Project is a key component of the <br />Caltrain Modernization Program that would electrify the Caltrain Corridor from San Francisco to <br />San Jose. Under this program, diesel-locomotive hauled trains would be converted to Electric <br />Multiple Unit (EMU) trains after 2020. <br /> <br />Currently all of Caltrain’s trains use diesel locomotives. As part of the program to modernize <br />operation of the Caltrain rail corridor between San Jose and San Francisco, Caltrain is planning <br />to switch from diesel locomotives to use of electric trains in the near future.9 Nearly all of the <br /> <br />9 Caltrain, 2014.
