Caltrain crews will resurface the tracks between the Menlo Park and San Antonio stations from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 16 through Friday, Feb. 22.
Some construction noise is expected, but there will be no passenger delays, according to a Caltrain statement.
Resurfacing corrects uneven alignment of rails caused over time by compression of the ballast under the tracks. It reduces jerks experienced by passengers and lessens the mechanical strain on the rails, according to the Caltrain website.Are you receiving Express, our free daily e-mail edition?

There was an incident last night on that spot behind town and country. Time to act do not wait till you have more than 10 to do it.
