To be (grudgingly) fair to Caltrain, a lot of things are perhaps indirectly out of their control-stuff like suicides (until you get gated platforms to stop people from jumping in front of Baby Bullets) and vehicles stopped on tracks are hard to predict. Likewise they are a victim of their own success-standing room only trains make boarding and unboarding longer than they have to be.
Of course, Caltrain has put off electrification and grade separation for a long time, and even now its massively expensive and ruinous (see the CBOSS fiasco) so its not like they are totally off the hook.
