Amtrak California
Amtrak California is a brand name used by the Caltrans Division of Rail on two state-supported Amtrak rail routes within the U.S. State of California, the ''Pacific Surfliner'' and the ''San Joaquin''. It also includes an extensive network of Thruway Motorcoach bus connections, operated by private companies under contract. Although not part of the Amtrak California brand, Caltrans also provides support for the ''Capitol Corridor'', and shared the use of "Amtrak California" branded Thruway buses and trainsets.〔
==History==
The National Railroad Passenger Corporation (Amtrak) assumed operation of almost all intercity passenger rail in the United States in 1971. Service in California, as in most of the United States, was basic and infrequent. In 1976 California began providing financial assistance to Amtrak.〔 At the same time, Caltrans Division of Rail was formed to oversee state-financed rail operations and the brand Amtrak California started appearing on state-supported routes.
In 1990, California passed Propositions 108 and 116, providing $3 billion for transportation projects, with a large portion going to rail service.〔Prop. 108: Passenger Rail And Clean Air Bond Act Of 1990; California Streets and Highways Code, Division 3, Chapter 17〕 As a result, new locomotives and passenger cars were purchased by the state, existing inter-city routes expanded, and one new inter-city route, the ''Capitol Corridor'', began operation. A more distinct image for Amtrak California, such as painting locomotives and passenger cars in "California Color", was established with the arrival of new rolling stock.
