[edit] History
The Sacramento station was originally the terminal for the Southern Pacific Railroad. The building's interior features a mural of the celebration of the completion of the Trans-Continental Railroad. The Central Pacific Railroad started from Sacramento and built east to Promontory Point, Utah, where it met with the Union Pacific Railroad. With the creation of Amtrak on May 1, 1971, the station converted to an Amtrak-only station.
[edit] Present
Sacramento is served by the daily California Zephyr from Emeryville to Chicago via Reno, Salt Lake City, Denver, and Omaha; and the daily Coast Starlight from Los Angeles to Seattle via San Luis Obispo, Oakland, Eugene and Portland.
Sacramento is also served by Amtrak California's Capitol Corridor (San Jose-Auburn) and San Joaquins (Sacramento-Bakersfield) trains, with multiple departures daily. Thruway buses from Sacramento connect with Marysville, Placerville, South Lake Tahoe, Stateline, Carson City, Grass Valley, Elk Grove-Stockton for connecting San Joaquin trains and many other destination cities. The Sacramento Regional Transit District has a light rail station stop at Sacramento Valley Station between the tracks and the station which marks the western terminus of the Amtrak-Folsom light rail line a.k.a.
