Where can Amtrak take you?

Amtrak operates four train routes that pass through the Bay Area. Capitol Corridor and San Joaquins provide regional intercity train service to several regions throughout California. The Coast Starlight and California Zephyr can take you across the country, with destinations including Los Angeles, Portland, Seattle, Salt Lake City, Denver, and Chicago.

If you’re from anywhere outside of the Bay Area in California (such as Redding, Modesto, Merced, Bakersfield, SLO, LA, San Diego, Sacramento, or Santa Barbara), taking the Amtrak may be a convenient method of transportation to get to and from home during vacations.

Taking Amtrak can often be more cost-efficient than driving or flying and provides you with some of the best views in the country! All Amtrak trains are equipped with a cafe car, and long-distance trains have dining and observation cars.
