The story
The Santa Clara Transit Center (also called Santa Clara–University by Capitol Corridor) is a railway station in downtown Santa Clara, California. It is served by Caltrain, Amtrak Capitol Corridor, and Altamont Corridor Express (ACE) trains. It is the planned terminus for the Silicon Valley BART extension into Santa Clara County on the future Green and Orange Lines. The former station building, constructed in 1863 by the San Francisco and San Jose Railroad, is used by the South Bay Historical Railroad Society as the Edward Peterman Museum of Railroad History.
