Take Caltrain Rails to see the Sails at Fleet Week 2006

Friends and fans of the U.S. Navy can board Caltrain and avoid traffic, as they cruise up the Peninsula to San Francisco for Fleet Week, Oct. 5-9.

Fleet Week events include a parade of naval ships, ship tours, a naval air show featuring the Blue Angels, and a community disaster preparedness fair, all along San Francisco’s waterfront.

Caltrain riders arriving in San Francisco can transfer to Muni’s N Judah line across the street from the train station at Fourth and King streets. From the Embarcadero station, they can transfer to an historic F-line street car, which travels on street level along the waterfront to Fisherman’s Wharf.

Caltrain tickets must be purchased before boarding the train, and Ticket Vending Machines are available at all stations. For fare and schedule information, call 1.800.660.4287 (TTY 650.508.6448).
