Baby Bullet service launched in June 2004 with ten trains per weekday, which made only four intermediate stops between [[San Francisco 4th and King Street Stationstation|San Francisco]] and [[San Jose Diridon station|San Jose Diridon]]: [[Millbrae station|Millbrae]], [[Hillsdale station (Caltrain)|Hillsdale]], [[Palo Alto station|Palo Alto]], and [[Downtown Mountain View station|Mountain View]].<ref name=SFC-040514 /> The ten trains consisted of three northbound and two southbound trains in the morning, and three southbound and two northbound trains in the afternoon; the two southbound morning trains and two northbound afternoon trains made additional stops at [[22nd Street station (Caltrain)|22nd Street]] to serve reverse commuters.<ref name=SFC-040514 /> Since these trains operated with far fewer stops, they took only 57 minutes to travel between San Francisco and San Jose, compared to 96 scheduled minutes for local trains making all stops,<ref name=SFC-040514 /> even though the maximum train speed remained at {{convert|79|mi/hour|km/hour}}.<ref name=SFC-040601>{{cite news |url=http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/CALTRAIN-Baby-Bullet-to-premiere-Rail-2770861.php |title=CALTRAIN / 'Baby Bullet' to premiere / Rail travel between S.F, San Jose gets faster come Monday |author=Cabanatuan, Michael |date=8 June 2004 |newspaper=San Francisco Chronicle |accessdate=25 March 2017}}</ref><ref name=SFC-040608>{{cite news |url=http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/BAY-AREA-Bully-for-Baby-Bullet-riders-say-2715103.php |title=BAY AREA / Bully for Baby Bullet, riders say / High praise, heavy loads for swift new commuter trains |author=Cabanatuan, Michael |date=8 June 2004 |newspaper=San Francisco Chronicle |accessdate=25 March 2017}}</ref><ref name=SFC-040403>{{cite news |url=http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/BAY-AREA-Baby-Bullet-trains-shoot-for-June-2771698.php |title=BAY AREA / 'Baby Bullet' trains shoot for June rollout |author=Cabanatuan, Michael |date=3 April 2004 |newspaper=San Francisco Chronicle |accessdate=25 March 2017}}</ref>
