Former Caltrain workers were accused of misusing funds to turn train stations into living quarters for themselves.

BURLINGAME — For over six years, Burlingame residents Larry and his grandson Chase have made a weekly pilgrimage to the Burlingame Caltrain station, enjoying the simple pleasure of watching trains pass by.However, a more nefarious scheme was unfolding behind closed doors.'They shut it down, and I noticed they did the exterior, but I've never been on the inside,' Larry remarked.

Prosecutors allege that between 2019 and 2020, they conspired to convert parts of the Burlingame and Millbrae stations into their own living quarters, submitting invoices below $3,000 to avoid scrutiny.'What they did was that they put a kitchenette, new piping in it for a bathroom, it had a sleeping area, basically it was a mini apartment,' stated San Mateo County District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
