Eminent domain in this context would be booting people out of their homes and demolishing them to make room for the new train tracks.
The route for the train is going to go through some pretty densely populated areas as it comes into San Francisco. I bet they will use the existing CalTrain tracks from San Mateo to SF so they don't have to spend money in court buying out hundreds of homeowners.
