Butler Road was a train station in South San Francisco, California, in operation until July 1983[1] on the Peninsula Commute, a commuter rail service run by Southern Pacific between San Francisco and communities on the San Francisco Peninsula. The Butler Road train shelter was built in 1926.[2] It was located adjacent to a steel mill that opened in 1913, was purchased by the Western Pipe and Steel Company in 1917, and was owned from 1948 by United States Steel and its divisions,[3] which closed the mill in 1983.[4] Service to the Butler Road stop was also discontinued that year.

The Butler Road stop was relatively little-used for much of its existence. In 1958, for example, only four of the 27 total northbound weekday commuter trains stopped at the station.[5] In 1978, only three of the 22 total northbound weekday trains stopped there.[6]

Butler Road, the road itself, has been renamed Oyster Point Boulevard.[7] The Peninsula Commute service was renamed Caltrain in 1985, the name by which it is still known.

The Butler Road station was located between the still-operational Bayshore and South San Francisco stations.
