Raw Footage of Riding the Rails in South San Francisco

As much as I love the beautiful drive, my favorite way of commuting between San Francisco and San Jose, California, is on CalTrain. Instead of fighting traffic or boredom, I can plop down in a nice comfy seat, take off my shoes, put my feat up and have some “me time.”

A CalTrain train at the San Francisco station

One day, I decided to just take my point and shoot and snap away as the train left San Francisco and headed through South San Francisco and onto the Penninsula. My battery didn’t last long, but what I did get was very telling of the disparity between downtown and the outskirts of the city.

This is my favorite of all the shots from CalTrain. All I see when I look at it is a big smiling face.

How did people document things without small cameras that have high definition video capabilities :) Below is a brief view of the passing landscape of South San Francisco from my seat on CalTrain.

Finally, what follows are the complete and unedited photographs from my trip through South San Francisco on Caltrain in the Summer of 2011. Clicking on any one will bring up a slideshow.
