Oakland (Jack London Square) is an Amtrak station at 245 Second Street in downtown Oakland, California. The station is served by the Capitol Corridor, Coast Starlight, and San Joaquins trains.[2] Through Thruway buses, this station serves San Francisco.
Of the 74 California stations served by Amtrak, Oakland was the tenth-busiest in FY2012, boarding or detraining an average of about 1,142 passengers daily.[3]
History
The station opened on May 22, 1995 as a replacement for 16th Street Station, which had been severely damaged in the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. A building next to the old station was used as the rail station until August 5, 1994.[4] Southern Pacific's downtown station on the north side of 1st St between Franklin St and Broadway was a passenger stop until 1960.
The station is owned by the Port of Oakland; the tracks along 1st St are owned by Union Pacific Railroad.[5]
