Robert J. Cabral Station, otherwise known as the Stockton – Downtown Station or Stockton ACE Station, is a railway station in Stockton, California. The historic station building was built by the Southern Pacific Railroad and was named in 2003 after the late Robert J. Cabral, a San Joaquin County supervisor instrumental in the creation of the Altamont Corridor Express (ACE), originally Altamont Commuter Express.〔(【引用サイトリンク】The Changing Face of Downtown ) 〕 The overall design of the station is based on Italian Renaissance and Spanish Revival prototypes. It follows the classical Palladian five-part plan in which there is a center block connected to two end wings by hyphens.〔(Great American Stations ). Accessed February 25, 2013.〕 The brick building includes extensive terracotta detailing, such as stylized rope around the large arched windows and a wide frieze that runs around the structure.〔(Great American Stations ). Accessed February 23, 2013.〕 Abandoned in the early 1980s, the depot fell into disrepair. In 2001, the San Joaquin Regional Rail Commission (SJRRC), which provides ACE, purchased the old depot for $236,000. Within a year, plans were drawn up for a full $6.5 million restoration that was completed in 2003. The majority of the funds came through “Measure K,” a local voter-approved ½ cent sales tax dedicated to transportation improvement projects.〔(Great American Stations ). Accessed February 25, 2013.〕 The station is the terminus for the ACE train line to San Jose Diridon Station and is also served by Amtrak trains between Sacramento and Bakersfield. Amtrak trains between Oakland and Bakersfield do not pass this station (SKT), instead using the Stockton - San Joaquin Street Station (SKN). The station exterior was updated in early 2010 with improvements to the parking lot and landscaping, including added handicapped parking. In FY2010 Robert J. Cabral Station was the 40th-busiest of Amtrak's 73 California stations, boarding or detraining an average of about 95 passengers daily. ==Platforms and tracks== The station has one side platform. ACE trains stop immediately outside the station building, while Amtrak trains stop just south closer to the Weber Avenue at-grade crossing. 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「Robert J.
