Capitol Corridor


The ''Capitol Corridor'' is a 168-mile (275 km) passenger train route operated by Amtrak in California. Although state-supported, it does not operate under the ''Amtrak California'' brand. Capitol Corridor runs from San Jose, CA to Sacramento CA, roughly parallel to Interstate 680 and Interstate 80. One train a day continues through the eastern Sacramento suburbs to Auburn, in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada. The trains are administered by the Capitol Corridor Joint Powers Authority and managed by employees of Bay Area Rapid Transit. ''Capitol Corridor'' trains started in 1991.
==History==

The ''Capitol Corridor'' links California's first state capital, San Jose (1850), with the current state capital, Sacramento. The rail route also travels near historical state capitals of Vallejo (1852) and Benicia (1853).
At the start of the 1990s three Amtrak trains operated in the Bay Area: the long-distance ''California Zephyr'' (Oakland–Chicago) and ''Coast Starlight'' (Los Angeles–Seattle), and the short-distance ''San Joaquin'' (Bakersfield-Oakland). Only the ''Coast Starlight'' ran between San Jose and Sacramento, and at inconvenient times. The last local service between the two former capitals was the Southern Pacific's ''Senator'' which ran between Oakland and Sacramento until May 31, 1962. In 1990 California voters passed two propositions providing $105 million to expand service along the route. The new service, named ''Capitols'', debuted on December 12, 1991 with three daily round-trips between San Jose and Sacramento. Of these, a single round-trip continued to Roseville, an eastern Sacramento suburb. The service was later renamed ''Capitol Corridor'' to avoid confusion with the ''Capitol Limited'', which runs between Washington, D.C. and Chicago. In 1998 there was one round trip train that ran as far as Colfax but poor ridership was unable to sustain the extension. One daily train now runs as far as Auburn.
