I was under the very strong impression that the main line from San Jose to San 
Francisco is owned by the Joint Powers Board (CalTrain) and not by Union 
Pacific. I believe that there are branches off that owned by Union Pacific and 
maybe even BNSF but that the main right of way was actually Caltrain's. Any 
place one could confirm or deny that?
