== EMU numbering ==
Putting this original research here for now, as I don't have a verifiable source other than observation:
{| class="wikitable" style="font-size:100%;text-align:center;"
|+Caltrain EMU numbering scheme
!(2n+2) !!(2n+1)6 !!(2n+1)5 !!(2n+1)3 !!(2n+1)2 !!(2n+1)1 !!(2n+1)
|-
|<--South ||Bike ||Pass. ||Pass. ||Bike ||Pass+W/C ||North-->
|}
Notes:
* Caltrain EMUs have a seven-car consist, consisting of two cab cars (on the north and south ends) and five passenger cars (in between)
* Caltrain EMUs carry three-digit numbers on the leading (north and south) cab cars
** All three-digit numbers are in the 300s
** All north cab cars are odd
** All south cab cars are even
** The lowest three-digit number is 301
** Leading elements are paired so the south cab car is one (integer) digit larger than the north cab car. I.e., if a train has 305 as the north cab car, the south cab car is 306.
* Caltrain EMUs carry four-digit numbers on the middle cars
** All four-digit numbers are in the 3000s
** All four-digit numbers are based on the north cab car's three-digit number
** The car immediately south of the north cab car uses the north cab car's three-digit number with a "1" appended to it. So for instance, the car immediately south of 305 is 3051
** Four-digit cars are numbered sequentially from north to south, skipping 4 (e.g., car numbering jumps from 3053 to 3055); I speculate this is to accommodate eight-car trains in the future
** Bike cars are 3xx2 and 3xx6
** The only restroom (labeled WC) is in 3xx1
