Title:  JPBX 914
Description:  Caltrain 914 shoves a commute through College Park station as a jet lands at the nearby San Jose International Airport. 914 is one of 5 Caltrain F40PH-2s with a gear-driven head-end power (HEP) generator. The other 15, classified as F40PH-2CATs, have a seperate Caterpillar engine that powers the HEP system.

This space was used to fit the Caterpillar engine, and so the area is now covered, with a crew door on either end.
