The ''Capitol Corridor'', ''San Joaquins'', and ''California Zephyr'' stop here and connect to BART. The station was rebuilt and rededicated on October 18, 2007.〔 The Metro Walk - Richmond Transit Village is adjacent; north of the station is a BART rail yard. Richmond is the north end of BART's Richmond Line; the Richmond - Millbrae Line operates Monday-Saturday during the daytime (although the line does not travel south of Daly City on Saturdays) and the Richmond - Fremont Line operates at all times during regular BART service. This station has been identified as an important hub in the transportation network for metropolitan and statewide planning. ==History== Railway service to Richmond started around 1900 when the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway (ATSF) opened the western terminus of its line near the port where the rail company ran ferries to take passengers across the bay to the city of San Francisco.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.greatamericanstations.com/Stations/RIC )〕 Around that same time the Southern Pacific Railroad (SP) opened a station just south of the current station at MacDonald Avenue. BART service at this station began along dedicated tracks that paralleled the SP line on January 29, 1973.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.bart.gov/docs/BARThistory.pdf )〕 Amtrak service to the station started, using the SP line's tracks, in early 1978.〔 A station house for the Amtrak service was constructed in 1984.〔 A transit village and rebuild of the western approach to the station was started in 2007 and a dedication ceremony was held on October 18, 2007.〔 A transit store opened at the station in August 2008, joining other major stations in the system. The Coast Starlight no longer stops at Richmond as of January 14, 2013.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.amtrak.com/servlet/ContentServer?c=AM_Alert_C&pagename=am/AM_Alert_C/Alerts_Popup&cid=1251623141957 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Richmond Station (California)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
